In general, whenever the diagnosis of meningitis is strongly considered, a lumbar puncture should be promptly performed. Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is the cornerstone of the diagnosis. The diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is made by culture of the CSF sample.
The cornerstone in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is CSF examination. The CSF in meningitis shows hundreds, even thousands of neutrophils and is teeming with organisms. CSF protein is elevated and glucose is low (because it is consumed by inflammatory cells). The CSF:blood glucose ratio is lower than 50%.
