CSF protein was raised (range 0.46–2.1 mg/dl) in 52%, and was ≥0.7 mg/dl in 28%, and ≥1.0 mg/dl in 11% of samples. CSF protein was raised in 63% samples obtained within 30 days of relapse compared ...

Multiple hospitals in the city have shared samples of blood, stool, throat swabs, saliva, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF ...

The role of blood proteins in the pathogenesis of implant infection has been investigated, but research into the role of CSF protein in shunt infections has not been undertaken, even though a high CSF ...

Changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurofilament light (NfL) protein and proenkephalin (PENK) emerged decades before ...

Raised protein concentrations in CSF and heterogeneous slowing of nerve conduction are typical of the condition. In addition to this usual phenotype, distribution of symptoms, disease course, and ...

However, Gram staining has very high specificity and negative predictive values ... The results of rapidly available CSF biochemical markers (protein, glucose and lactate) and microscopy can enhance ...

On admission, blood tests showed a mild lymphopenia, with a normal C reactive protein and white cell count. Chest X-ray and CT of the head were normal. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microscopy was normal.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is characterised by a classical triad of progressive motor weakness, areflexia and elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein without pleocytosis.1 Landry published the ...

Progress MRI displayed characteristic T2 ribboning on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences, along with periodic sharp wave complexes on ...

Raised protein concentrations in CSF and heterogeneous slowing of nerve conduction are typical of the condition. In addition to this usual phenotype, distribution of symptoms, disease course, and ...
