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.
