Treatment of resistant fever: new method of local cerebral cooling.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Knowing the individual child's risk is highly useful when deciding on treatment strategies, especially when deciding on invasive procedures. In this study, we aimed to develop a new predictive score for children with bacterial meningitis and compare this with existing predictive scores and individual risk fa...
