Serial measurements have been made of the cerebrospinal fluid and plasma amino acid concentrations in 11 patients with viral meningitis and in four with tuberculous meningitis. A small increase in the concentrations of a few amino acids in cerebrospinal fluid has been found in a viral meningitis in contrast to a marked increase in most amino acids in tuberculous meningitis. The findings are compared with those found in patients with purulent meningitis and the possible causes and the diagnostic significance of these findings are discussed.
对11例病毒性脑膜炎患者和4例结核性脑膜炎患者的脑脊液和血浆氨基酸浓度进行了系列测量。结果发现，病毒性脑膜炎患者脑脊液中少数几种氨基酸的浓度略有升高，而结核性脑膜炎患者多数氨基酸的浓度则显著升高。将这些结果与化脓性脑膜炎患者的结果进行了比较，并讨论了这些结果的可能原因及其诊断意义。
