One thousand one hundred and seventy cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) samples from clinically diagnosed meningitis patients were subjected to macroscopic and microscopic examination. CSF samples were also cultured. Five percent CSF samples were positive for bacterial (4.3%) and fungal (0.7%) organisms. Gram positivity was observed in 6.4% samples. The percentage of bacterial isolates was highest in newborn and infants (6.1%) and (4.3%) in patients of 1-12 years age group. Cryptococcus species were isolated from 8 adult patients. Among Gram positive bacterial isolates, coagulase negative Staphylococci was highest (8%), followed by Pneumococci (6%) and B-haemolytic Streptococci (2%). Among Gram negative bacilli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was predominant (42%) followed by Klebsiella species (20%) though Klebsiella was predominant in newborns and infants.
对1170份来自临床诊断为脑膜炎患者的脑脊液（CSF）样本进行了宏观和微观检查。CSF样本也进行了培养。5%的CSF样本细菌（4.3%）和真菌（0.7%）检测呈阳性。6.4%的样本观察到革兰氏阳性。细菌分离率在新生儿和婴儿中最高（6.1%），在1至12岁年龄组患者中为（4.3%）。从8名成年患者中分离出隐球菌属。在革兰氏阳性细菌分离物中，凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌最高（8%），其次是肺炎球菌（6%）和β-溶血性链球菌（2%）。在革兰氏阴性杆菌中，铜绿假单胞菌占主导（42%），其次是克雷伯菌属（20%），尽管克雷伯菌在新生儿和婴儿中占主导。
