Popis: The reports by Cherin et al. ([2][1]) and Garcia et al. ([3][2]) document the potential advantages of PCR-based assays for the detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and lung tissue, particularly when culture is compromised by antibiotic therapy. In both instances the
