Abstract

The cerebrospinal fluid concentration of Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was studied in patients with pyogenic and tubercular meningitis. Significant increase in LDH level (P<0.001) were observed in the test group when compared to the control group. LDH may useful in differentiating viral from other meningitis. It may act as corroborative evidence of meningitis.
