Reagent strips test: A simplified method for prompt analysis of cerebrospinal fluid in neurological disorders in emergency

摘要

IntroductionThe initial examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for proteins, glucose, and leukocytes, is still the gold standard investigation in some neurological conditions like meningitis. Aims and objective of the present study were to determine the accuracy of urinary reagent strip for semi-quantitative analysis of protein, glucose, leucocytes and erythrocytes in CSF along with its role in emergency for rapid diagnosis of neurological conditions.
