Combined detection of cerebrospinal fluid in diagnosis of intracranial infection / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the application of pathogenic examination and biomarkers detection of cerebrospinal fluid in diagnosis of intracranial infection .Methods Pathogenic and biomarkers examination were performed in cerebrospinal fluid of 49 cases with intracranial infection (infection group) and 49 cases of craniocerebral trauma but without intracranial infection (control group) .Results Adenosine deaminase activity obviously increased in tuberculous meningitis cases ,glucose levels decreased in bac‐terial meningitis and cryptococcal meningitis cases ,protein and IgA content increased in bacterial meningitis cases ,IgG levels in‐creased in bacterial meningitis and tuberculous meningitis cases ,IgM levels increased in tuberculous meningitis cases (P0 .05) .Conclusion Combined pathogenic detection and biomarker detection of cerebrospinal fluid could be helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of intracranial infection .
