Review of Progress and Challenges in Bacterial Meningitis—Reply. jamanetwork.com In Reply In response to the Review article on bacterial meningitis, Dr Ait-Ali and colleagues describe the usefulness of the S pneumoniae ICT that can be performed on CSF of patients with suspected pneumococcal meningitis. I agree that this is a very sensitive and specific test for pneumococcal meningitis, and is particularly useful in hospitals without access to multiplex PCR assays. The S pneumoniae immunochromatographic test is also less expensive and faster than PCR assays and is an invaluable tool, especially in resource-limited countries where it has been evaluated.
