[Cerebrospinal fluid diagnosis of meningeal cryptococcosis]. 1985

Cryptococcosis must be taken into account as a cause of basal meningitis. Along with a case report, clinical signs and guiding cerebrospinal fluid findings are evaluated. Special attention is paid to CSF-cytology, which provides important information in terms of identification and clinical course of the disease. For the first time C. neoformans, yielded from CSF-samples, was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, and compared with yeast cultured in laboratory.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008581 Meningitis Inflammation of the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord, which consist of the PIA MATER; ARACHNOID; and DURA MATER. Infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal) are the most common causes of this condition, but subarachnoid hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGES, SUBARACHNOID), chemical irritation (chemical MENINGITIS), granulomatous conditions, neoplastic conditions (CARCINOMATOUS MENINGITIS), and other inflammatory conditions may produce this syndrome. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1994, Ch24, p6) Pachymeningitis,Meningitides,Pachymeningitides
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
