CSF diagnostics (general)
Material: | Basic program: 1 ml CSF Extended program: CSF-serum pair with 2 ml CSF and serum each Pathogen demonstration by PCR: 1 ml CSF in separate tube, CSF puncture as non-traumatic as possible, without blood admixture. For CSF-serum pair, simultaneous collection of the samples as far as possible (a time difference of up to 24 hours may be justifiable after prior consultation). | Reference range | see below |
Indication | Demonstration of infections in the central nervous system, assessment of the blood-CSF-barrier function, suspicion of inflammatory processes of infectious or autoimmune genesis in the central nervous system, auxiliary diagnostics of central nervous system tumors |
Please note | Basic program Extended program Reference range: Evaluation by Reiber diagram as per findings report Pathogen demonstration (direct) by PCR: CSF cytology will be carried out on site Neural antibodies Dementia markers Further tests
