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.
In the appropriate clinical setting, the CSF examination is the most important test to establish a diagnosis of viral meningitis. The CSF is clear, with a normal to moderately elevated pressure. The cell count ranges from 10 to 1000 cells/mm3, but is usually less than 300 cells/mm3 (Meyers and Gurtman 1990).
