Common Cause and Cerebrospinal Fluid Changes of Acute Bacterial Meningitis
Background and Objective: Bacterial meningitis is an important cause of mortality and long-term neural morbidity. Immediate diagnosis and treatment are necessary in appropriate time. This study was designed in Afzalipour Hospital in Kerman to evaluate meningitis causes, frequency and CSF laboratory changes. Patients and Methods: In this retrograde descriptive study from September 2003 to Se...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Cytology in Metastatic Tumors: An Analysis of Consecutive CSF Samples
BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination can be used to verify the presence of primary malignancies as well as cases of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis. Because of its importance, there have been several studies concerning the sensitivity of CSF cytology. To determine the practical use and reproducibility of diagnoses based on CSF cytology, we evaluated this test by analyzing cy...
متن کاملClinical and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile and CSF criteria for the diagnosis of spinal cord schistosomiasis.
OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical and CSF findings among patients with presumptive neuroschistosomiasis (NS) and to suggest a classification for the CSF diagnosis of presumptive NS. METHOD The charts of all patients whose CSF exam was performed at the CSF Lab, Jos Silveira Foundation, Salvador, Brazil, from 1988 to 2002 were reviewed. Those with clinically suspected NS whose indirect fluor...
متن کاملMicro devices for a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system
This paper reports a novel cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system for the hydrocephalus patients. The CSF shunt system consists of a micro telemetry pressure sensor, an electromagnetic micropump and a controller. The pressure sensor has a flexible p+ diaphragm and a planar copper coil that construct an LC resonant circuit. The cerebrospinal pressure is measured from the phase shift at the reson...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid vasopressin in neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Vasopressin was determined in CSF and plasma of 243 patients with different neurological and psychiatric disorders, including control patients. CSF vasopressin was significantly higher in patients with high pressure hydrocephalus, intracranial tumour, benign intracranial hypertension, intracranial haemorrhage, ischaemic stroke, and craniocerebral trauma. In patients with primary degenerative de...
