English abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis very frequently makes the difference to the diagnosis, not only in relation to infections but also in other diseases of the nervous system such as inflammatory, demyelinating, neoplastic and degenerative diseases. The authors review some practical and important features of CSF analysis in infectious diseases of the nervous system, with regard to acute bacterial meningitis, herpetic meningoencephalitis, neurotuberculosis, neurocryptococcosis, neurocysticercosis and neurosyphilis
Portuguese abstract O exame de líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) é frequentemente o elemento determinante para o diagnóstico não somente de infecções mas também de outras doenças do sistema nervoso, tais como doenças inflamatórias, desmielinizantes, neoplásicas e degenerativas. Os autores reveem alguns aspectos práticos e importantes quanto ao papel do exame de LCR em meningites bacterianas agudas, meningoencefalite herpética, neurotuberculose, neurocriptococose, neurocisticercose e neurossífilis
