Abstract:
Intracranial infection is a common central nervous system disease that seriously endangers children′s health. Early diagnosis and reasonable treatment in time are of great significance to improve the long-term prognosis of children. This paper describes the improvement of routine laboratory methods for intracranial infection, and discusses the role of common infection markers including C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and heparin binding protein in the differential diagnosis of intracranial infection.
