The most important observation of the study was the finding of a combination of pleocytosis, elevated protein (greater than 0.6 g/l) and low glucose levels (less than 2.1 mmol/l) (considered to be pathognostic for tuberculous meningitis) in six of 59 cases of Lyme meningitis....
Cerebrospinal fluid C-reactive protein (CSF-CRP) was studied in 183 consecutive infants and children with suspected meningitis, using a nephelometric technique. Cerebrospinal fluid C-reactive protein was above an empirically chosen level of 1mg/1 in seven of 19 children with culture-proven bacterial ...
A total of 130 suspected case of meningitis patients were included in the study. Cerebrospinal fluid culture and C-reactive protein were done for all the patients. Among them 102 were diagnosed as meningitis and 28 were other than meningitis. They were diagnosed as febrile convulsion, seizure ...
A glucose level below 40 mg/dL is significant and occurs in bacterial and fungal meningitis and in malignancy. PROTEIN. Total protein levels in CSF are normally very low, and albumin makes up approximately twothirds of the total. High levels are seen in many conditions including bacterial and...

1104 QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENT OF C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) IN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID (CSF) OF PATIENTS WITH BACTERIAL MENINGITISPediatric Research publishes original papers, invited reviews, and commentaries on the etiologies of diseases of children and disorders of development, extending from molecular biology...
Acylation stimulating protein (ASP or C3a desArg) is a complement derived product produced by adipocytes and is able to alter their metabolism, stimulating both triglyceride synthesis and glucose transport. This stimulatory activity has ... G Kaur,A Poljak,N Braidy,... - Alzheimers Association ...
The small size and minimal protein binding of fosfomycin contribute to its favorable CNS PK. Although rarely used, it achieves higher concentrations in the presence of inflammation and accumulation is possible. Linezolid reaches high CSF concentrations; however, more frequent dosing might be required ...

CSF proteinINTRODUCTION: Hydrocephalus occurs in 85% of patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) insertion is first-line treatment for relieving increased intercranial pressure. VPS obstruction secondary to increased protein levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a ...
