[Use of electrosyneresis in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis (author's transl)]. 1979

H Barege, and P Rigal, and A Morel, and J F Lemeland, and H Boiron

The authors present the interest of electrosyneresis for diagnosis of purulent meningitis. Test material is a study about 120 cerebrospinal fluids. Electrosyneresis sometimes permits to identify the germ when microscopic examination and culture are negative or when microscopy is positive and the culture negative. Application of electrosyneresis is still limited in France by the small immunogenicity of the specific polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis serotype B. principal etiologic agent of purulent meningitis, that do not allow, at present, to obtain suitable serums.

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.
