Jan 20, 2010 CSF neutrophils are elevated in 90% of acute meningitis cases, and kidneys, lungs, nervous system, serous membranes, or other organs.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

• Definition: CSF is a clear, colorless liquid that fills the ventricles, the subarachnoid spaces surrounding the brain and the spinal cord.

• Anatomy:

Characteristic findings in bacterial meningitis include a CSF glucose concentration <40 mg/dL, a CSF to serum glucose ratio of ≤0.4, a protein concentration >200 mg/dL, and a white blood cell count above 1000/microL, usually composed primarily of neutrophils [ 2,8,11 ]. Early on, the CSF in patients with viral meningitis frequently contains a predominance of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and may even have a low glucose level. The presence of neutrophils in the initial CSF sample is especially common in patients with enteroviral infections.

By means of PHA-tests and rosette-formation the authors detected in the CSF of patients with serous meningitis T- and B-lymphocytes. They assume that in serous meningitis the penetration of alien antigens into the subarachnoidal space facilitates the migration of T- and B-lymphocytes into the CSF from the lymphoid organs and peripheral blood. CSF was studied in 110 patients with herpes zoster. The whole complex of symptoms helped to diagnose serous meningitis in 62% of cases and so-called "asymptomatic meningitis" in 18% of cases. CSF cells were characterized by lymphocyte transformation and the presence of antigen to Varicella zoster virus determined by the fluorescent antibody method. Serous meningitis is one of the most serious brain diseases, characterized by inflammation of its membranes. Usually the cause is in viral damage or multiplication of bacterial and fungal flora, but most of the recorded cases of this disease were caused by viruses.

Despite steps to block infection, such as surgical repair or vaccination, patients with cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, leak-associated bacterial meningitis have a high recurrence rate, according to

These include CSF Gram, CSF ANC, CSF Protein, ANC Cell, Peripheral ANC and Seizure. When the answers to all these questions have been given, the total score would be calculated. On the basis of this score, it would be determined whether the patient is suffering from bacterial meningitis or not. Again, all the questions have yes or no as answers.

Representatives of Listeria spp. on the one hand, are practically not identified with the bacterial staining of a Gram stained smear, but on the other - induce a monocyte reaction in the cerebrospinal fluid, which should be interpreted more in favor of aseptic than bacterial meningitis. 2019-07-29 2019-01-05 Contamination of CSF Culture: Serious Risk to Patient Safety - Volume 41 Issue S1.

The usefulness of determination of lactate concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for differentiation between various types of meningitis was evaluated. Lactate concentration in the CSF was assayed by gas-liquid chromatography for 115 patients, 17 of whom had serous meningitis and 38 had bacterial meningitis.

Again, all the questions have yes or no as answers. Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges and subarachnoid space. It may result from infections, other disorders, or reactions to drugs.

In contrast to bacterial meningitis, in viral aseptic meningitis these symptoms are often self-limited without CSF analysis results for several types of meningitis.

Bacterial meningitis is less common than viral meningitis, but is more serious and is treated as a medical emergency.
