    Abstract Background: Rapid molecular testing has revolutionized the management of suspected viral meningitis and encephalitis by providing an etiological diagnosis in < 90 min with potential to improve outcomes and shorten inpatient stays. However, use of molecular assays can vary widely.
    Aim: To evaluate current practice for molecular testing of pediatric cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples across the United Kingdom using a structured questionnaire.
    Methods: A structured telephone questionnaire survey was conducted between July and August 2020. Data was collected on the availability of viral CSF nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), criteria used for testing and turnaround times including the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
    Results: Of 196/212 (92%) microbiology laboratories responded; 63/196 (32%) were excluded from final analysis as they had no on-site microbiology laboratory and outsourced their samples. Of 133 Laboratories included in the study, 47/133 (35%) had onsite facilities for viral CSF NAAT. Hospitals currently undertaking onsite NAAT (
    Conclusion: Onsite/near-patient rapid NAAT (including polymerase chain reaction) is recommended wherever possible to optimize patient management in the acute setting.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to characterize the time-dependent relationship between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and anastomotic integrity in the early post-operative period and to develop a systematic use of CRP and computed tomography.
    Methods: Patients aged 18 years or over who had the formation of a left-sided colonic or a colorectal anastomosis, in Royal Sussex County Hospital, were included. The post-operative day (POD) CRP cut-off values were calculated according to receiver operating characteristic analysis to evaluate the sensitivities and specificities of the proposed cut-off parameters.
    Results: A total of 125 left-sided colonic and colorectal anastomoses were recruited and analysed. When comparing to POD1 CRP cut-off, the calculated CRP ratio cut-off values of all the rest of PODs (2-5) were highly significant in the laparoscopic group and the overall group (P < 0.001). This statistically significant ratio was also demonstrated in the open group at POD2 (P < 0.0001).
    Conclusion: CRP and CRP ratios cut-off values were sensitive to detect an anastomotic leak in the early post-operative period. The cut-off values could facilitate the development of systematic use of CRP and computed tomography.
