We made a bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis in 107 of 132 (81%) adults with clinical tuberculous meningitis: acid-fast bacilli were seen in 77 of 132 (58%) and cultured from 94 of 132 (71%). Volume of cerebrospinal fluid, duration of symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid neutrophils, lactate, and glucose were all independently associated with bacteriological confirmation.
在132例临床诊断为结核性脑膜炎的成人患者中,我们对其中107例(81%)做出了结核性脑膜炎的细菌学诊断:132例中有77例(58%)发现抗酸杆菌,132例中有94例(71%)培养出结核杆菌。脑脊液量、症状持续时间、脑脊液中性粒细胞、乳酸和葡萄糖水平均与细菌学确诊独立相关。
