Diagnostisch en prognostisch onderzoek in de kindergeneeskunde: Kinderen met meningeale prikkeling
Meningeal signs are indicative of bacterial meningitis and therefore necessitate a full diagnostic work-up, although these signs are not pathognomonic. Meningeal signs are present in 50 - 70% of children older than one with bacterial meningitis, as well as in 25 % of the children without meningitis in whom a lumbar puncture is performed. In about 60% of children who have meningeal signs, another diagnosis may be assessed.
