Serotyping Pneumococcal Meningitis Cases in the African Meningitis Belt by Use of Multiplex PCR with Cerebrospinal Fluid

We reformulated a multiplex PCR algorithm for serotyping of pneumococcal meningitis directly on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Compared to established methods on isolates, CSF-based PCR had at least 80% sensitivity and 100% specificity. In regional meningitis surveillance, CSF-based PCR increased the se...
