Workup
Young infants commonly require lumbar puncture as a part of the routine workup for fever without a source, as they have a much higher risk of meningitis than older persons and do not reliably show signs of meningeal irritation ( meningismus ). [diki.pl]
Subsequent workup revealed a HIV-1 viral load of 239,000 and a CD4 lymphocyte count of 59/mm 3. Over the course of his admission, blood cultures grew Streptococcus alactolyticus, which was sensitive to ceftriaxone, so vancomycin was discontinued. [practicalneurology.com]
