| Core Tip |
We conducted a prospective, observational cohort study to assess the efficacy of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate in diagnosing meningitis in critically ill patients. 71 patients were included and 23 were diagnosed with meningitis. There was a significant correlation of CSF lactate levels with CSF cultures and meningo-encephalitis panel. CSF lactate (> 2.72 mmol/L) showed good accuracy in diagnosing meningitis with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.81, sensitivity 82.6%, and specificity 72.9%. These values were comparable to those of CSF total leucocyte count (TLC) and protein. Twelve patients with bacterial meningitis had significantly higher CSF lactate (8.9 ± 4.7 mmol/L) than those with non-bacterial meningitis (4.2 ± 3.8 mmol/L), P = 0.006. To conclude, CSF lactate may be used to aid in our diagnosis of meningitis in critically ill patients. |
