Overview
Lumbar puncture
Indications of lumbar puncture
Findings of lumbar puncture in bacterial meningitis
Following CSF findings may suggest bacterial meningitis:[1][2]
- A pressure of over 180 mmH2O [1][2][3][4]
- CSF cell count in 1000s[2]
- Granulocytes > lymphocytes
- Elevated protein may range between 100-500mg/dl
- Glucose ratio (CSF/plasma) <0.3
- CSF lactate >2.1mmol/l[3][4]
- CSF gram stain findings
- Gram positive diplococcus - Streptococcus Pneumonia
- Gram negative diplococcus - Neisseria Meningitides
- Gram positive coccobacillus - Listeria Monocytogenes
- Small pleomorphic gram - negative coccobacilli - Haemophilus Influenzae
Contraindications of lumbar puncture
Contraindications of lumbar puncture may include the following:[5][6]
- Increased intracranial pressure
- Mass lesion such as tumour
- Thrombocytopenia
- Bleeding diathesis
