Abstract
Urinary albumin excretion (AE) was determined by a sensitive method (below dipstick positive values, 15 to 300 μg/minute) in 68 children with meningitis during 48 hours after hospital admission; 51 children had bacterial meningitis (BM) and 17 had aseptic meningitis. AE (results as mean ± SD) during 0 to 24 hours was higher (P ≤ 0.001) in patients with BM (36 ± 40 μg/minute) than with aseptic meningitis (7 ± 5 μg/minute), albeit no cutoff value distinguished the two conditions accurately. In BM the clinical course (uneventful, intermediate, complicated, fatal) correlated with AE of 0 to 24 hours (r = 0.34, P ≤ 0.05) and AE of 25 toKeywords
