Clinical Status of Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in Cerebrospinal Fluid with Age and Sex Distribution in Different Types of Meningitis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Lactate deyhydrogenase intracellular tetramer protein, expressed as five isoenzymes having different distribution in various tissues [2,3]. It is an important indicator of bacterial meningitis [4,5] and it help to differentiate bacterial from non bacterial meningitis [6,7]. Viral meningitis is usually associated with normal or mildly elevated LDH levels, while bacterial meningitis is usually associated with significantly higher levels [8].

Estimation of Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in cerebrospinal fluid in different types of meningitis
Objective: Meningitis is life-threatening condition and examination of the Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may not give a precise diagnosis and prognosis of different types of meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is still a very common problem especially in many developing countries. The aims of study are to estimate the importance and significance of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), protein...

Despite recent innovations in the laboratory diagnosis of bacterial from nonbacterial meningitis, solid data-necessary for early determination of bacterial meningitis (BM) before organism growth in the culture medium-are missing. Therefore cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate levels were evaluated as a possible means of differentiating the two clinical entities. This was a retrospective study....

متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Indices in Acute Drug Intoxication Do they Predict the Patients’ Outcome?
Introduction: In some intoxicated patients, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is examined due to the prolonged loss of consciousness, focal neurologic findings, and fever of unknown origin. We aimed to evaluate the probable relationship between the different toxicity causes and the CSF indices in poisoned patients and determine if they could predict the patients’ outcome. Methods: All patients who h...
