Rapid diagnosis of meningitis using reagent strips.
OBJECTIVES Identification of causative agent with estimation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose, protein, cells is necessary for accurate diagnosis of meningitis. Unfortunately, even these facilities are not available in many areas. Reagent strips that measure glucose and protein in blood and urine can serve this task but have been used with varying results in the past. This study was carried...
متن کاملAnalysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid in Diagnosis of Bacterial Meningitis; Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: A Systematic Review
Background: Analysis of biofluids provides a unique window into the biochemical status of a living organism since the composition of a given biofluid will be modulated according to the level of function of the cells that are intimately concerned with its manufacture and secretion. One of the most successful approaches to biofluid analysis has been the application of NMR spectroscopy. Objective...
متن کاملCounterimmunoelectrophoresis in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis.
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) would facilitate the rapid, etiological diagnosis of bacterial meningitis when used in parallel with other routine methods in a medical bacteriological laboratory. Of 3,674 consecutive specimens of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) received at the Department of Diagnostic Bacteriology, Statens Seruminstitu, 283 s...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of bacterial meningitis.
This review focuses on recent advances of topical interest regarding the diagnosis and treatment of common causes of bacterial meningitis occurring in children beyond the neonatal period. Tuberculous meningitis is beyond the scope of this review.
متن کاملDiagnosis and management of adult bacterial meningitis.
The early use of appropriate antibiotic therapy is one of the important and explicit steps in the management of potentially fatal adult acute bacterial meningitis (ABM). Changing epidemiology of ABM, especially with regards to the change of the relative frequency of causative pathogens, has been noted in a serial of studies in Taiwan. This change may influence the choice of initial empiric anti...
