ABSTRACT
Cerebrospinal fluid from patients with clinically diagnosed meningitis was tested for meningococcal, pneumococcal, streptococcal Group B and Haemophilus influenzae antigens by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. Antigens were rapidly identified and the results compared favourably with that of bacteriological culture. In the case of pneumococcal meningitis counterimmunoelectrophoresis proved to be more sensitive than culture. The procedure was shown to be sensitive, specific, rapid and easily performed.
