The October 2017’s Archimedes podcast includes answers to “Have you ever wondered if it might be worth trying to do an Archi?” and “What came first, the ‘brufen or the necrotic flesh?” along with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and musings on the nature of evidence-based medicine. Read more about varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories here - http://adc.bmj.com/content/102/10/988.1 - and how to interpret delayed CSF results here - http://adc.bmj.com/content/102/10/990.
