Non-invasive test enables accurate detection of infant meningitis
A high-resolution ultrasound device has shown great accuracy in detecting suspected meningitis in newborns and infants, potentially offering a noninvasive alternative to lumbar puncture, the traditional diagnostic method. This is the main conclusion of an international study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), in collaboration with hospitals in Spain, Mozambique, and Morocco. The results have been published in the journa…
The current, invasive and impractical diagnosis The alternative, an ultrasound device Artificial Intelligence and the future of diagnosis A high-resolution ultrasound device has demonstrated a high precision to detect cases with suspected meningitis in neonates and infants, which could represent a non-invasive alternative to lumbar puncture, the traditional diagnostic method. This is the main conclusion of an international study led by the Insti…


An international study led by the Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona (ISGlobal) demonstrates the effectiveness of a non-invasive ultrasound-based test to detect meningitis with high diagnostic accuracy.
Catalan researchers lead a study that has validated an ultrasound device that would improve the diagnosis of meningitis
An international study led by the Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona (ISGlobal) has validated a non-invasive test that detects childhood meningitis with "high precision" diagnosis. Published in the journal 'Pediatric Research', this is a high-resolution ultrasound device that has demonstrated "high precision" to detect cases with suspected meningitis in newborns and infants, reports the ISGlobal in a statement this Monday. According to resea…
A high-resolution ultrasound device has shown great precision to detect cases with suspected meningitis in newborns and infants, which could represent a non-invasive alternative to lumbar puncture, the traditional diagnostic method. With high-frequency ultrasound applied through fontanella, the device allows visualisation and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and counting white blood cells around the brain and marrow. This is the main conclusion o…
