FIELD: medicine, neurology, infectious diseases. ^ SUBSTANCE: in spinal fluid (SF) one should detect the concentration of C-reactive protein (C-RP) and at its value being >2.9 mg/l it is possible to diagnose meningococcal meningitis, at SF C-RP value being <=2.9 mg/l - nonmeningococcal meningitis. Application of the present method provides the chance to increase accuracy, specificity and information value of differential diagnostics of purulent meningococcal and non-meningococcal meningitis that enables to carry out earlier specific treatment. The method in question, moreover, is very quick and simple in implementation. ^ EFFECT: higher efficiency and accuracy of differential diagnostics. ^ 3 ex |
