Abstract

In order to survey and compare the CRP of CSF with the other cerebrospinal fluid tests in BACTERIAL- VIRAL MENINGITIS in CHILDREN between O to 14 years old, a prospective study was carried out from october 1996 to September 1997 in Tehran.During this time, CSF Samples (by lumbar punction) were obtained from CHILDREN who revealed symptoms of MENINGITIS in three educational and therapeutic centers in Tehran and Subjected to biochemical and microbiological analysis. Also some positive samples obtained from patients in standard conditions a few years ago were added to these samples, Thus 80 positive BACTERIAL and 50 positive VIRAL Samples were prepared. In this survey a few samples of CHILDREN with same conditions (Sex-Age)as the study group, but with clean CSF and negative culture were obtained from surgery departments with the consent of family as a control group.The prevalent organisms in the BACTERIAL MENINGITIS group, included 35 (43.75%) H.influenzae, 30 S.pneumonia, 11 N. MENINGITIS,3 S.agalactae and one as Lmonocytogencs.In VIRAL MENINGITIS group, percentage of isolated VIRAL agents were: mumps virus 50%, enterovrius 34% and herpes simplex virus 16%.1n this study, a meaningful statistical difference could not be observed between the sex of patients and infection (P<0.001).In the present study we compared the results of culture of CSF, with the results of serological and sensitive CRP test. Consequently in 80 BACTERIAL samples, 72(90%) of them had a positive reaction of test. Neither VIRAL samples nor control group, had a positive reaction in this test. more over, the sensitivity and specificity of the CRP test in differentiating BACTERIAL MENINGITIS from aseptic MENINGITIS were found to be 90% and 100% respectively.
