Abstract

To Asses CSF Glucose, Micro-Protein and CSF ADA Levels and Clinically Importance for Tuberculous Maningitis in Children

Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges which affect the dura matter, piamatter and arachnoid membranes of the brain. The study was conducted on 79 subjects, out of 79 subjects, 59 patients with tuberculous meningitis and 20 patients with non tuberculous meningitis. In this study, assessed the levels of CSF glucose, micro protein and CSF ADA and knows the important role of these biochemical markers in tuberculous meningitis. In our study CSF glucose level was not significant, CSF micro protein level was significant and CSF ADA level was significant in cases as compared to control group.
