Bacterial meningitis is suggested when there is: • polymorphicleucocytosis • low CSF glucose relative to the plasma value • raised CSF protein concentration. An urgentGram stainand microbiological culture are mandatory. The Gram stain is positive in approximately 50–60% of cases. A CSF exa...

Pneumococcal meningitis propagates to the skull. Skull channels are conduits for S. pneumoniae into the marrow. S. pneumoniae propagation in the CSF induces skull hematopoiesis. Every day, the human ventricular choroid plexus produces most of the 500ml of CSF. ...
Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency. A firm diagnosis is usually made when bacteria are isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and evidence of meningeal inflammation is demonstrated by increased pleocytosis, elevated protein level, and low glucose level in the CSF....
The aim was to assess bacterial meningitis (BMN) in terms of incidence and types of causative bacteria. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens were collected and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was conducted with universal primers designed to amplify a DNA fragment (996...

Four patients did not have the etiologic agent of meningitis defined, three of whom had previously used antibiotics, such as cephalothin, ceftriaxone, and clindamycin. Table 3.

Per definition, bacterial meningitis is an infection of the CSF-filled subarachnoid space. Inflammation of the meninges and subarachnoid space leads to the classic triad of meningitis symptoms — headache, fever and neck stiffness — and to pleocytosis (an increased cell count, particularly of ...
