The bacteriological diagnosis of pyogenic meningitis from cerebrospinal fluid dried on filter paper.

H C Whittle, B M Greenwood, L Gabrielse, J Crockford.   

Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid from patients with pyogenic meningitis in two rural hospitals in Nigeria was dried on filter paper and sent by post for analysis in a reference laboratory. Microbial antigens were detected by counter-current immunoelectrophoresis in 78 of the 142 specimens (55%). This method of detecting antigens deserves further application for epidemiological and diagnostic work in developing countries.
