New test could spot dangerous brain infections faster

NCT ID NCT06482463

Summary

This study aims to see if measuring a substance called D-lactate in spinal fluid can help doctors diagnose meningitis (a serious brain infection) in patients who have a temporary brain drain (ventriculostomy) after neurosurgery. Researchers will enroll 185 patients at Toulouse University Hospital who are suspected of having this hospital-acquired infection. They will compare the new D-lactate test to current standard tests to see if it is more accurate.
