Abstract:
Bacterial meningitis infections can cause serious complications and sequelae in children. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen of the disease.Early and rapid identification of the pathogen of infection is of great significance for precise treatment, as well as mortality and reduction of sequelae.In recent years, the rapid progress of molecular biology methods has enormously changed the clinical pathogen diagnosis pattern.In this article, the progress in the pathogenic diagnosis of pneumococcal meningitis was reviewed, in order to acquire a better and systematic understanding of the role that emerging technologies play in the accurate diagnosis of pneumococcal meningitis.
