To evaluate the performance characteristics and potential clinical utility of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for enteroviral RNA in comparison to viral culture in infants under 3 months of age with meningitis. SPECIMENS AND TESTING: Specimens were obtained from a collection of cerebrospinal fluid specimens from infants under 3 months of age (excluding those in the neonatal intensive care unit) undergoing lumbar puncture at St. Louis Children's Hospital during a 12-month period. Those tested by PCR included all 27 with pleocytosis, 8 others from infants without pleocytosis but from whom an enterovirus was cultured, and 10 from infants who did not have pleocytosis and had a negative viral culture of cerebrospinal fluid. Viral cultures were performed at the discretion of physicians caring for individual patients.
