Cerebrospinal fluid lactic acid in diagnosis of meningitis.
Quantitative lactate determinations were performed on cerebrospinal fluids to assess their value in the rapid diagnosis of bacterial and mycotic meningitis and to evaluate their value in assessing the prognosis in these patients. Cerebrospinal fluid lactate concentrations were elevated in all patients with untreated bacterial or fungal meningitis. Lactate concentrations proved very valuable in ...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid lactic acid concentration in bacterial meningitis.
Lactic acid concentration was determined in 37 specimens of cerebrospinal fluid by gas liquid chromatography. It was found to be raised ( ~ 30 mg/dl) in 15 specimens from culture positive cases of bacterial meningitis and one of fungal meningitis. It was < 30 mg/dl in cerebrospinal fluid from four cases of viral meningoencephalitis and 10 contaminated specimens. It was also raised in two specim...

A rapid, microenzymatic method was used to measure cerebrospinal fluid lactate levels in 205 children with suspected bacterial meningitis. Fifty children with normal CSF containing fewer than 0.005 X 10(9)/l WBC, no segmented neutrophils, glucose 3.4 +/- 0.8 mmol/l (61.2 +/- 14.4 mg/100 ml), and a protein of less than 0.30 g/l had CSF lactate levels below 2.0 mmol/l (18 mg/100 ml) (mean and sta...
متن کاملUse of cerebrospinal fluid lactic acid concentration in the diagnosis of fungal meningitis.
A patient with a several year history of normal pressure hydrocephalus was found to have an infection owing to Cryptococcus neoformans. Cryptococcal infection was not suspected until typical cells were observed in a Wright's stained smear of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A review of past medical findings in this patient showed elevated CSF values for lactic acid and protein. This case prompted us ...

All of the preceding strategies are good ways to reduce the negative impact of HIV infection and AIDS on minorities and to " improve the likelihood that minority patients will engage in care, be satisfied with care, and have posi...
