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 کاملEffect of methylprednisolone on entry of ampicillin and gentamicin into cerebrospinal fluid in experimental pneumococcal and Escherichia coli meningitis.
The influence of methylprednisolone on the passage of ampicillin and gentamicin into and activity within cerebrospinal fluid was examined in two models of experimental meningitis. Steroid pretreatment reduced the concentrations of these drugs in purulent cerebrospinal fluid of rabbits with experimental pneumococcal and Escherichia coli meningitis (P less than 0.05). However, the resultant mean ...
متن کاملGenomic comparison of Escherichia coli K1 strains isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with meningitis.
Escherichia coli is a major cause of enteric/diarrheal diseases, urinary tract infections, and sepsis. E. coli K1 is the leading gram-negative organism causing neonatal meningitis, but the microbial basis of E. coli K1 meningitis is incompletely understood. Here we employed comparative genomic hybridization to investigate 11 strains of E. coli K1 isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of p...
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...
