Cerebrospinal fluid in adults with Lyme
By Linda on Oct 26, 2011 in Infections
Excerpt:
In acute LNB, all
patients had elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocyte counts. In
contrast to infections by other bacteria, CSF lactate was lower than 3.5
mmol/l in all but 5 patients. The CSF findings did not differ between
polyradiculoneuritis, facial palsy, and meningitis. The CSF in LNB
patients strongly differed from CSF in VM patients with respect to
protein concentration and the CSF/serum albumin quotient.
