Abstract

The determination of lactic acid and sugar contents has been made for the cerebrospinal fluid in such pathological conditions as tuberculous meningitis (7cases), encephalitis japonica(9 cases), and normal children(6 cases). In tuberculous : meningitis, the lactic acid contents was increased remarkably in disproportion to the normal one in which it was present in which it was present in trace, while the sugar content was reduced. The lactic acid content in encephalitis japonica was increased slightly than normal with the almost normal value of sugar content.
