Thromboplastic activity of cerebrospinal fluid in neurological disease.

Estimates of thromboplastic activity in 1100 samples of cerebrospinal fluid indicate that an increased activity of this clotting factor is a nonspecific indicator of abnormality in the central nervous system, much like (e.g.) an increased count of mononuclear cells and an increased protein content. However, the proportion of abnormal results obtained by these three tests can differ markedly in different neurological disorders. Increased thromboplastic activity is about 14-fold more common in bacterial meningitis than in viral meningitis; thus the thromboplastin determination can be of value in discriminating between bacterial and viral meningitis.[1]
