Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency requiring a fast and reliable diagnosis. Molecular methods such as real-time PCR (rt-PCR) offer an attractive alternative. Thus, this study aims to establish multiplex rt-PCRs detecting N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae b from cerebrospinal fluid in Tunisian children beyond neonatal age.
