For patients with suspected central nervous system infection, we perform molecular meningitis/encephalitis panel test to identify the causative organism.
We investigate whether the results will change the durations and vials of antimicrobial agents (acyclovir and antibiotics), the length of stay, and length of stay in the intensive care unit.
We investigate whether this test is consistent with conventional cerebrospinal fluid culture and HSV-DNA test using high-sensitivity PCR.
We conduct an epidemiological survey on the causative microorganisms of patients.

We use the remaining 200 micro L of the cerebrospinal fluid with written, informed consent from patient or patients' parents between January 2020 and March 2021.
We perform molecular meningitis/encephalitis panel test to identify the causative organism within 72 hours. The results of tests will be disclosed to the attending physician. The attending physician determines whether to start, continue, or discontinue acyclovir and antibiotics based on the results of molecular meningitis/encephalitis panel test, the patient's general condition, and other test results.
