Abstract
365 cerebrospinal fluid specimens from 259 patients were tested by the immunoelectroosmophoretic (IEOP) method to detect bacterial antigens. 25 patients had bacterial meningitis. The bacterial agent was identified by IEOP in 16 of 21 cases with aetiological agents detectable with the antisera employed. No false positive reactions occurred. The test gave true negative results in 340 instances. The rapidity, simplicity, sensitivity, reliability and low cost are emphasized.Keywords
