BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate is a potential biomarker for bacterial meningitis in children. To this end, we performed a single-center retrospective cohort study of children from Sao Paulo, Brazil, with CSF pleocytosis to evaluate the ability of CSF lactate to distinguish between children with bacterial and aseptic meningitis. We determined the optimum cutoff point for CSF lactat...
A septic meningitis refers to a nonbacterial inflammation of the leptomeninges.1 Viruses are the most common cause of aseptic meningitis, and the most common viruses that cause aseptic meningitis are enteroviruses. Drug-induced aseptic meningitis is rare but probably more common than the literature would suggest; therefore, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of aseptic meningit...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bacterial meningitis is a common medical condition in Qatar. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of bacterial meningitis, the frequency of each pathogen, and its sensitivity to antibiotics and risk factors for death. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at Hamad General Hospital between January 1, 2009, and Decemb...

The recent emergence of Neisseria meningitidis W135 as a cause of epidemic bacterial meningitis and the availability of a trivalent ACW135 vaccine have created a need for accurate and timely meningococcal serogroup determination for organization of epidemic vaccine response. The sensitivity and specificity of the Pastorex meningitis kit (Bio-Rad) to identify serogroups A and W135 in the African...
We aimed to evaluate the radiologic and clinical findings of patients with tuberculous meningitis encountered during a 4-year period, retrospectively. Sixteen patients with tuberculous meningitis were admitted to our hospital. The diagnosis was based on abnormal neurologic symptoms and signs, cerebrospinal fluid findings, negative bacteria culture, and abnormalities on brain-imaging studies. CT...
BACKGROUND The value of serum and cerebrospinaL fluid (CSF) procalcitonin for differentiating between acute bacterial and viral meningitis was assessed and compared to other parameters which are usually used in clinical practice. PATIENTS 45 adult patients (20 with bacterial and 25 with tick-borne encephalitis, TBE) were included in this prospective study. RESULTS The median serum procalcit...
BACKGROUND Accurate etiological diagnosis of meningitis in developing countries is needed, to improve clinical care and to optimize disease-prevention strategies. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture and latex agglutination testing are currently the standard diagnostic methods but lack sensitivity. METHODS We prospectively assessed the utility of an immunochromatographic test (ICT) of pneumococc...
BACKGROUND Cryptococcus neoformans is the most common cause of adult meningitis in sub-Saharan Africa. The cryptococcal antigen (CRAG) lateral flow assay (LFA) has simplified diagnosis as a point-of-care test approved for serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). We evaluated the accuracy of the CRAG LFA using fingerstick whole blood compared with serum/plasma and CSF for diagnosing meningitis. MET...
A 73-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with disturbance of consciousness, fever and headache. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed pleocytosis with neutrophil predominance, increased protein and low glucose. CSF and blood cultures yielded negative results. Antibiotics and antituberculous drugs were started for meningitis. An antimycotic was also added. The patient died from trans...
