Abstract

Five relevant clinical studies (1980-2004) found in a Medline, Pubmed and other database search were analyzed to determine the incidence of meningitis and the importance of routine lumbar puncture (LP) in late onset neonatal infection (greater than 48 hours), in a report from Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, UK.
