Background: We retrospectively evaluated the pathogens in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of pediatric meningitis/encephalitis (M/E) by FilmArray meningitis/encephalitis panel (FA-MEP), and the characteristics of children showing positive and negative FA MEP results.Method: FA-MEP along with conventional tests (bacterial/viral cultures, and polymerase chain reaction tests) was performed in children who presented symptoms of M/E. Clinical and laboratory data were reviewed to evaluate the characteristics of children with pathogens detected by FA-MEP.Results: The CSF specimens from 110 pediatric M/E patients were enrolled. Mean age of the patients was 5.9 5.2 years. Overall positive rate of FA-MEP was 46.4% (51/110). The pathogens detected in the patients were enterovirus (23/51, 45.1%), parechovirus (10/51, 19.6%), S. pneumoniae (7/51, 13.7%), human herpesvirus type 6 (6/51, 11.8%), S. agalactiae (3/51, 5.9%), herpes simplex virus type 2 (1/51, 2.0%), and E. coli (1/51, 2.0%). Aseptic meningitis (OR, 3.24, 95% CI, 1.18-12.73) and a duration of
