Abstract

The Na concentration in C.S.F. increased markedly in encephalitis children. The K concentration, however, was within normal limit. The administration of hydrocortisone to encephalitis patients brought about a marked increase in Na, but without effect on K content in C.S.F.. Prednisolone caused a slight increase in both Na and K content in C.S.F. of encephalitis.
