Abstract

The determination of sugar and protein contents has been made for the cerebrospinal fluid in such pathological conditions as tuberculous meningitis(29 cases), encephalitis japonica (35 cases) and suppurative meningitis (7 cases), In encephalitis japonica, the sugar and protein contents were almost similar to the normal values. In tuberculous meningitis and suppurative meningitis, the contents of sugar was markedly increased, while the protein contents was markedly decreased. The results of statistical study seem significant in view of the fact that P value is under 0.001.
