Cerebrospinal fluid tau concentrations in HIV infected patients with suspected neurological disease.
OBJECTIVES To measure cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau in HIV infected patients with acute neurological episodes and to correlate the findings with the type and severity of neurological disease. METHODS CSF tau was prospectively measured in 76 consecutive HIV infected patients admitted to a specialist unit at UCL Hospitals, London, for investigation of acute neurological episodes: the results we...
متن کاملDETECTION OF HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE TYPE B IN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID OF SUSPECTED CHILDREN WITH MENINGITIS BYPCR
ABSTRACT Background: A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with primers from "hpd" gene was compared with culture for the detection of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) in CSF samples from children suspected of meningitis. Methods: 300 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from suspected meningitis cases were studied by culture (Leventhal & Chocolate Agar) and PCR. Results: The latter...
متن کاملHuman enteroviruses in cerebrospinal fluid of children with suspected aseptic meningitis: A study in northern Iran
Background: Enterovirus (EV) infections are one of the most common causes of aseptic meningitis in pediatrics. To diagnose EV meningitis, virus isolation in cell cultures is often time consuming and lacks sensitivity to be of clinical relevance. This makes the virus culture results difficult to interpret. The rapid detection of EVs in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by molecular diagnostic techniques...
متن کاملOsmotic pressure measurements of serum and ascitic fluid in patients with cirrhosis of the liver.
Numerous contributions regarding the pathogenesis of ascites and edema have been made since Starling's first description of the balance between serum and tissue hydrostatic and osmotic forces. The original concept (1) proposed that, at equilibrium, serum protein osmotic pressure minus tissue fluid osmotic pressure equals capillary hydrostatic pressure minus tissue hydrostatic pressure. Direct a...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid to serum glucose ratio in non-hypoglycorrhachic neurological conditions.
OBJECTIVE To explore the relevance of cerebrospinal fluid to serum glucose ratio in non-hypoglycorrhachic conditions. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Neurology ward, university teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Adult patients with conditions unrelated to hypoglycorrhachia who underwent lumbar puncture. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Cerebrospinal fluid and simultaneous ser...
