To the Editor.—

In reviewing the medical literature about meningitis in infants, we found the review article by the Academy's Task Force on Diagnosis and Management of Meningitis1 to be helpful. However, we noted two important errors in Tabe 2: (1) The table (which is adapted from another article2) should be properly entitled, "Cerebrospinal Fluid Findings in Infants Without Meningitis" or "CSF Findings in Normal Infants." (2) The fifth age category in the table should be >12 months instead of 7-12 months.
