  • It involved a retrospective analysis of 460 children who underwent lumbar punctures, where the FilmArray identified 12 bacterial infections missed by standard culture methods, highlighting its diagnostic advantage.
  • Results showed that children with viral or negative cultures had shorter antibiotic courses and hospital stays with the FilmArray compared to previous practices, indicating improved treatment outcomes.
