Abstract:
The authors have determined quantitatively the reactive C-protein in the serum of twenty patients suffering from acute bacterial meningitis and ten patients suffering from viral meningitis. The values observed, that are higher significantly in the bacterial meningitis, permit to affirm that reactive C-protein is an useful test in the differential diagnosis between bacterial and viral meningitis.
