[Course of the liquor cytology in central nervous system mumps manifestations under various therapeutic regimens].

A total of 156 children with mumps meningitis and mumps encephalitis were, under 5 different regimes of therapy, subjected to continuous liquor cytology. It has been found that the "aminophenazone" group showed the best results so far as both the time required for normalization of the total number of cells and the differential evaluation of the liquor cytogram was concerned. Administration of plasma, corticosteroids, or chloramphenical gave less satisfactory results from the point of view of liquor cytology, the possible causes of which are discussed in detail.
