At admission,both CSF cell count and concentration of glutamate correlated well with the severity of the disease.After treatment,glutamate concentrations decreased significantly to normal or only slightly elevated levels in 23 patients.However,in 7 patients glutamate levels remained markedly increased.In this group,clinical outcome was significantly worse than in the group of patients with low glutamate levels in the second CSF analysis. |
