Abstract
CSF lactate concentrations were determined by gas chromatography in 62 samples from 51 patients (14 without meningitis, 26 with viral meningitis and 11 with bacterial meningitis). This was useful in making an etiological diagnosis in cases of meningitis and in monitoring response to therapy.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
