Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Cerebrospinal Fluid Lactate and Glucose in HIV-Associated Tuberculosis Meningitis

Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Cerebrospinal Fluid Lactate and Glucose in HIV-Associated Tuberculosis Meningitis

ABSTRACT The role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate in tuberculosis meningitis (TBM) diagnosis and prognosis is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of CSF lactate alone and in combination with CSF glucose in predicting a diagnosis of TBM and 14-day survival. HIV-positiv...
