Case Report: Glucose transporter 1 deficiency syndrome misdiagnosed as bacterial meningitis
low CSF glucose is a critical diagnostic clue for Glut1DS, not exclusive to CNS infections. In infants with seizures, developmental delays, or motor dysfunction, CSF analysis and targeted <i>SLC2A1</i> testing are essential. Early KD initiation upon clinical suspicion may significantly improve outcomes and prevents neurological deterioration.
