pyogenic meningitiscomputed tomography scanDiagnostic confusion often exists between tuberculous meningitis and other meningoencephalitides. Newer diagnostic tests are unlikely to be available in many countries for some time. This study examines which clinical features and simple laboratory tests can ...
Meningitis diagnostic tests include tests such as latex agglutination tests, imaging, or spinal tap and the cerebrospinal fluid test is also used to detect meningitis. Moreover, meningitis can be caused owing to an ear sinus infection, a skull fracture, or after some surgeries. Incre...
For meningitis in resource-limited settings, with high patient loads and limited financial resources, central nervous system diagnostic algorithms may be useful to guide diagnosis and treatment. However, the cost effectiveness of such algorithms is unknown. Methods: We used decision analysis methodology ...
SummaryObjectives Early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is essential for a positive outcome, but sensitive, specific, and rapid diagnostic tests for TBM are lacking. We evaluated the diagnostic utility of enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assays in HIV-uninfected ...
