Cerebrospinal fluid pressure in pyogenic meningitis.
The pressure of cerebrospinal fluid taken at lumbar puncture was recorded objectively by strain gauge pressure measurement in 35 infants and children with pyogenic meningitis. Raised pressures were found in 33 children. The median pressure was 15 mm Hg (range 4-70 mm Hg) in all age groups. The pressure level varied throughout the infection, but a higher median pressure (19 mm Hg) was found when...
متن کاملA cerebrospinal fluid leucocidin in pyogenic meningitis.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were tested for their cytotoxicity to polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes (PMN) using a 51Cr release assay. Most samples from patients with pyogenic meningitis damaged PMN while normal CSF samples did not. No difference was found between the cytotoxic activity of CSF from patients with pneumococcal meningitis and from patients with meningococcal meningitis....
متن کاملChemotactic activity of cerebrospinal fluid in pyogenic meningitis.
Cerebrospinal fluid from patients with pyogenic meningitis was found to be chemotactic for polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes. No significant difference was found between the mean chemotactic activity of cerebrospinal fluid obtained from patients with pneumococcal meningitis or meningococcal meningitis. The chemotactic factor present in cerebrospinal fluid is probably a low molecular weigh...
متن کاملCEREBROSPINAL 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 کاملCerebrospinal fluid proteins in meningitis
Oestradiol-178 is the most active oestrogen in premenopausal women. Assays for oestradiol are of value in the investigation of normal and abnormal ovarian function. Rapid oestradiol measurements are effective in monitoring ovulation induction in the treatment of female infertility, and sensitive assays facilitate the detection of lower oestradiol concentrations found in men and postmenopausal w...
