Bacterial culture	NG	NG	NG	NG	NG	NG	NG	NG
Specimen obtained on hospital day(s):	1	1	1	2	2	1	1, 6^d	1

CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; NOS, no organisms seen; NG, no growth; ND, not done.

Result derived by calculation from laboratory reports of cell percentages or cell counts.

Mononucleated leukocytes consist of the combination of lymphocytic leukocytes plus monocytes plus eosinophils.

Result from a specimen obtained on hospital day 6.
