Acute bacterial meningitis is a rare but extremely severe disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is present and measurable in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and if its assessment may be useful for identifying patients with bacterial meningitis.
