Abstract:
Objective To explore the significance of LDH and ?2-m concentration in CSF in differentiating viral meningitis from purulent meningitis in pediartic patients.Methods Kinetic method was performed to detect the LDH concentration in CSF in 45 patients with purulent meningitis and 49 patients with viral meningitis and 22 healthy children of control group respectively.On the other hand,radioimmunoassay(RIA)was used to detect the concentration of ?2-m.Results The concentrations of LDH in CSF in purulent meningitis group(26.15?12.17)U/L were higher than that in viral meningitis group(8.76?4.94)U/L significantly(P
