Determination of cerebrospinal fluid sugar by glucometer.
Early diagnosis and timely management of CNS infections has an implication on the prognosis and outcome. Thus bacterial meningitis should be dealt with as an emergency. Biochemical analysis of CSF plays an important role in the diagnosis of CNS infections 1 . Certain factors such as lack of laboratory facilities, time taken for the sample to reach the laboratory and the time consuming conventio...
متن کاملEvidence for interference by ascorbate in the measurement of cerebrospinal fluid glucose by a kinetic glucose oxidase/peroxidase procedure.
Glucose in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of neonates, as measured with a kinetic glucose oxidase/peroxidase procedure, was sometimes very low. When these samples were stored at 4 degrees C and subsequently re-analyzed, or if the samples were analyzed at any time after receipt by using a glucose dehydrogenase assay, the values were much higher. We found that the discrepancies in the values were ...

متن کاملHigh sensitivity and specificity of elevated cerebrospinal fluid kappa free light chains in suspected multiple sclerosis.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is routinely used in the diagnostic work-up of multiple sclerosis (MS), by detecting CSF-specific oligoclonal bands (OCB). More recently, several studies have reported CSF free light chains (FLC) as an alternative. We show that absolute CSF κFLC concentrations were highly sensitive - more than OCB testing - and specific for clinically isolated syndrome, relaps...
