Enzyme Immunoassay Detecting Teichoic and Lipoteichoic Acids versus Cerebrospinal Fluid Culture and Latex Agglutination for Diagnosis of Streptococcus pneumoniae Meningitis

A newly developed enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was used to detect the presence of pneumococcal teichoic and lipoteichoic acids in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis who were being treated with antibiotics.
