[Diagnostic significance of lactate and lysozyme concentrations in cerebrospinal fluids inchildren with meningitis (author's transl)].

Abstract

C.S.F. lactate- and lysozyme concentrations were determined in 74 children with bacterial and aseptic meningitis, combined with other laboratory findings (white-cell count, differential blood count, total protein, glucose). Lactate and lysozyme concentrations proved to be best for the differentiation between bacterial and aseptic meningitis.
