Sedimentation cytomorphology of the CSF in ventriculitis / E. KANTOPOLOUS in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 28-2 (April 1986)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 28-2 (April 1986) . - p.213-219 Titre : Sedimentation cytomorphology of the CSF in ventriculitis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : E. KANTOPOLOUS, Auteur ; O. B. EDEN, Auteur ; Anne O'HARE, Auteur ; Robert A. MINNS, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.213-219 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The cytological technique of cytocentrifugation and millipore filter collection of cells allows accurate identification of cells in the CSF. This study reports the changing CSF cell-populations during 26 episodes of ventriculitis in children with shunts to control hjydrocephalus. There was a significant discordance between lymphocytes and macrophages in the CSF. Neurosurgery led to a 20 per cent increase in neutrophils on the first postoperative day, with a progressive decline to a mean of 10 cells on the fourth postoperative day. There was a small decrease in lymphocytes on the first postoperative day, followed by an increase on the second day. Macrophages were reduced by 12 per cent on the first postoperative day and then steadily increased from the second to the fourth day. A mean number of two peaks (of all cells) occurred during the treatment for ventriculitis: there was a greater number of of neutrophils in the first peak, with less lymphocytes and macrophages than in the second peak. This study supports the advantages of this technique in the diagnosis and management of ventriculitis.
