The authors comment on an article that explores the potential usefulness of glycerol in treating bacterial meningitis in a pediatric population living in the underdeveloped public sectors of several Latin American nations. They opine that researchers should be congratulated for conducting the largest bacterial meningitis trial to assess the safety and efficacy of adjuvant strategies. However, the study has several methodologic problems that compromise reliable interpretation of the data.
