The initial treatment of pleocytosis usually consists of both antiviral therapy and antibiotics until laboratory results enable a more specific approach. Therefore, it is crucial to rapidly and accurately detect pathogens.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In this observatory, monocentric study of quality management data, we studied insourcing of ME-PCR, CXCL 13, Antibody-specific Index (AI) for HSV, VZV (G<jats:inline-formula>\n                <jats:alternatives>\n                  <jats:tex-math>$$_{1}$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                  <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                    <mml:mmultiscripts>\n                      <mml:mrow\/>\n                      <mml:mn>1<\/mml:mn>\n                      <mml:mrow\/>\n                    <\/mml:mmultiscripts>\n                  <\/mml:math>\n                <\/jats:alternatives>\n              <\/jats:inline-formula>) compared with outsourced laboratory measurements (G<jats:inline-formula>\n                <jats:alternatives>\n                  <jats:tex-math>$$_{0}$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                  <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                    <mml:mmultiscripts>\n                      <mml:mrow\/>\n                      <mml:mn>0<\/mml:mn>\n                      <mml:mrow\/>\n                    <\/mml:mmultiscripts>\n                  <\/mml:math>\n                <\/jats:alternatives>\n              <\/jats:inline-formula>) and its benefit for the work-up. Before the implementation of these parameters, data from 150 patients were sampled, followed by 210 after the introduction of ME-PCR, CXCL 13 and AI. Data were collected, anonymized, and analysed afterwards. All were treated in hospital for suspected infections of the Central Nervous System (CNS). The length of hospital stay (LOS), intervals from lumbar puncture, the cumulative dose of anti-infective agents, length of treatment and the potential impact on patients\u2019 safety parameters were examined.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The G<jats:inline-formula>\n                <jats:alternatives>\n                  <jats:tex-math>$$_{1}$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                  <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                    <mml:mmultiscripts>\n                      <mml:mrow\/>\n                      <mml:mn>1<\/mml:mn>\n                      <mml:mrow\/>\n                    <\/mml:mmultiscripts>\n                  <\/mml:math>\n                <\/jats:alternatives>\n              <\/jats:inline-formula>-group showed a significant decrease of LOS (p&lt;0.001), exposure to antiviral, and antibiotic agents decreased significantly (p &lt; 0.001, each).
