ABSTRACT

Nitric oxide determination in spinal fluid of patient with external derivation in the diagnosis of bacterial or aseptic meningitis. Patients that had a neurosurgical intervention with a spinal fluid external derivation have channges in the spinal fluid with pleocitosis and the must frecuent infection is caused by Staphilococus aureus. We think that the determination of nitrous oxide (014) is use ful in the differential diagnosis betwen a septic and an aseptic meningitis. We studied 13 patients operated withaut infeccion and 39 with infection and found that the concentration of ON is higher in the infected patients and this can guide the treatment.
