Fat-laden macrophages in cerebrospinal fluid as an indication of brain damage in children
AUTOR(ES)
Chester, D. C.
RESUMO
A study of the incidence of fat-laden cells (compound granular corpuscles) in the cerebrospinal fluid in infants indicating that a high level of these cells (over 40% of cells) is invariably associated with a bad prognosis and lower levels of these cells can give a useful indication of brain damage in children with meningitis and ventriculitis.
