10 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
These are the 7 categories that you should think of in a csf meningitis survey
|
- opening pressure
- csf appearance - cell count (cells/mm3) - dominant cell type - glucose (mg/Dl) -protein (mg/Dl) - condition |
|
this is what you would see in a NORMAL csf finding
|
pressure= <100 h20
apprnce = clear cell count= 0-5 cell type= lymphocytes glucose = 40-70 protein= <40 normal condition |
|
This is what you would see in a VIRAL CSF finding
|
press= nrml or slighly elevated
csf apprnce= clear c.count= 0-500 cell type= (early,pmn's; late,lymphos) gluc= normal or slighly low protn= normal or slighly high condition= viral infection |
|
CSF findings in a BACTERIAL infection
|
press= high
csf apprnce= OPAQUE c.count= 1-60K c.type= PMNS glucose= blw normal range protein= HIGHER than normal cndtn= bacterial infection |
|
fungal csf findings
|
press= slightly elevated
csf apprnce= clear c.count= 10-500 c.type= (early,pmn's; late,lymphos) glucose= below normal range protein= high to very high |
|
this is the only condition that causes an opaque csf appearance
|
bacterial infection
|
|
only condition wih an extremely high cell count (1-60K)
|
bacterial infection
|
|
these 2 conditions are the only ones with high to very high proteins in the csf
|
bacterial/fungal infections
|
|
these conditions all cause a ____ in csf glucose
|
drop ; viral,bacterial, fungal infection
|
|
this is the only condition with a really high opening pressure
|
bacterial infection
|
