CEREBROSPINAL FLUID FINDINGS IN NEONATAL BACTERIAL MENINGITIS
Background : Meningitis is more common during the neonatal period than other periods of life and has a prevalence of one in 1000 live births. The similarity of its clinical manifestations with other infectious diseases makes it difficult to diagnose. The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship between age, sex, clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory test results of ne...
متن کاملIncreased cerebrospinal fluid lactate and early diagnosis of bacterial meningitis.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, Vol. 25, No. 5, 1979 809 has yielded correlations with active malignant disease (1, 3). However, the lack of specificity of changes in concentration of these components has decreased their clinical diagnostic usefulness. By using cellulose acetate membranes with Mylar backing (4), we have been able to separate the a2-globulin region into several subregions. In Figure 1, we s...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid lactic acid in diagnosis of meningitis.
Quantitative lactate determinations were performed on cerebrospinal fluids to assess their value in the rapid diagnosis of bacterial and mycotic meningitis and to evaluate their value in assessing the prognosis in these patients. Cerebrospinal fluid lactate concentrations were elevated in all patients with untreated bacterial or fungal meningitis. Lactate concentrations proved very valuable in ...
