Overview

Lumbar puncture

Indications of lumbar puncture

Findings of lumbar puncture in bacterial meningitis

Following CSF findings may suggest bacterial meningitis:[1][2]

  • A pressure of over 180 mmH2O [1][2][3][4]
  • CSF cell count in 1000s[2]
  • Granulocytes > lymphocytes
  • Elevated protein may range between 100-500mg/dl
  • Glucose ratio (CSF/plasma) <0.3
  • CSF lactate >2.1mmol/l[3][4]
  • CSF gram stain findings

Contraindications of lumbar puncture
