Paper Title
To Asses CSF Glucose, Micro-Protein and CSF ADA Levels and Clinically Importance for Tuberculous Meningitis in Children
Abstract
Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges which affect the dura matter, pia-matter and arachnoid membranes of the brain. The patients with tuberculous meningitis were about 59 and patients with non-tuberculous meningitis were 20.The study was about to assess levels of CSF Glucose, Micro-Protein and CSF ADA and their role as biomarkers in tuberculous meningitis. Our study showed that CSF glucose level was not significant, but CSF micro protein and CSF ADA level was significant in cases as compared to control group.
Abbreviations: CSF-cerebral spinal fluid, ADA- adenosine deaminase.
