Detection of polysaccharides of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C in spinal fluid by counter-immunoelectrophoresis in cellulose acetate.

Abstract
Bacteriological tests of 846 cerebrospínal fluids from patients suspected of bacteríal meningitis were compared with those of counterimmunoelectrophoresis ín ceIlulose acetate. There was an agreement of 83.06% when group C Neisseria meningitidis had been ísolated, while ín meningitis with other bacterial etiology was 99%, which shows the counter-ímmuno-electrophoresis reaction to be spccifíc.
