An analysis of 62 patients with pyogenic meningitis is presented, 23 (37%) of whom had received pre-diagnosis antibiotic therapy. Positive bacteriological identification could be achieved in 73% of the partially treated group as opposed to 97% in the previously untreated group but otherwise such pre-treatment made little impact on the diagnosis, characteristic cerebrospinal fluid changes sufficient for diagnostic purpose being present in all but one case. The study also fails to demonstrate any advantage of immunoelectroosmophoresis over conventional bacteriology in the problem cases of partially treated bacterial meningitis.
本文对62例化脓性脑膜炎患者进行了分析，其中23例（37%）在诊断前接受了抗生素治疗。部分治疗组的细菌学阳性鉴定率为73%，而未治疗组为97%，但除此之外，这种预处理对诊断影响不大，除1例病例外，所有病例均出现了足以用于诊断目的的典型脑脊液变化。该研究也未能证明在部分治疗的细菌性脑膜炎的疑难病例中，免疫电渗电泳相对于传统细菌学有任何优势。
