A bloody spinal tap in infants can be caused by several factors, including traumatic tap due to the needle causing bleeding in the surrounding tissues, or underlying conditions such as bleeding disorders, infections, or structural abnormalities in the spine. In some cases, it may also indicate the presence of a serious condition, such as meningitis or a hemorrhage. Close evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the exact cause and ensure appropriate management.
