Abstract

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) infection has been an ongoing concern in paediatrics. The FilmArray (R) Meningoencephalitis (FAME) panel has greater sensitivity in identifying the aetiology of CNS infections. This study's objective was to compare the aetiological identification and hospitalization costs among patients with suspected CNS infection before and after the use of FAME.
