Immunological and biochemical correlates of adjunctive dexamethasone in Vietnamese adults with bacterial meningitis
<p style="text-align:justify;"> Adjunctive treatment to improve outcome from bacterial meningitis has centered on dexamethasone. Among Vietnamese patients with bacterial meningitis, cerebrospinal flu id (CSF) opening pressure and CSF:plasma glucose ratios were significantly improved...

| description | <p style="text-align:justify;"> Adjunctive treatment to improve outcome from bacterial meningitis has centered on dexamethasone. Among Vietnamese patients with bacterial meningitis, cerebrospinal flu id (CSF) opening pressure and CSF:plasma glucose ratios were significantly improved and levels of CSF cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-10 and were all statistically significantly lower after treatment in patients who were randomized to dexamethasone, compared with levels in patients who received placebo. </p> |
