844The Clinical Significance of Cerebrospinal Fluid Neutrophilic Pleocytosis in Viral Central Nervous System Infections
Background. Viral meningitis and encephalitis is typically characterized by a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytic pleocytosis. A CSF neutrophilic pleocytosis presentation has been described but its prognostic and clinical significance is unknown. The objectives of our study were to compare the clinical and laboratory characteristics of viral central nervous system (CNS) infections with CSF ne...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid neutrophilic pleocytosis in hospitalized West Nile virus patients.
A description of 7 consecutive patients admitted for various forms of neurological impairment. All these patients were found to have cerebrospinal fluid positive for West Nile virus IgM, and routine bacterial cultures were negative. Six of these patients did not present with the typical lymphocytic pleocytosis often quoted when discussing a viral meningitis/encephalitis; rather most presented w...
متن کاملViral antibody in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with acute central nervous system infections.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sera from 129 patients of a study population of 139 were tested for antibody to herpes simplex, measles,and mumps viruses. Herpes simplex virus antibody was found in three of five patients with laboratory-confirmed herpes simplex infection and in eight patients without serological or virological evidence of current infection with this or other common neurotropic vi...
متن کاملIsolated angiitis of central nervous system with pleocytosis in the cerebrospinal fluid.
We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with isolated angiitis of the central nervous system. This case shows that high levels of pleocytosis may not rule out isolated angiitis of the central nervous system if this diagnosis can be considered on clinical grounds.
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis in infectious and noninfectious central nervous system disease
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is the most important tool for assessing central nervous system (CNS) disease. An elevated CSF leukocyte count rarely provides the final diagnosis, but is almost always an indicator of inflammation within the CNS.The present study investigated the variety of diseases associated with CSF pleocytosis.CSF analyses were identified through the biochemical database ...
