[Liquor-culture in central nervous system mycosis (author's transl)].
Several possibilities of fungous etiology for meningo-encephalitis are shortly exposed, with the literature data on the liquor characters. Methods for the identification of the most frequently met fungi in liquor are given, both on microscopical and cultural examinations. For cryptococcal meningo-encephalitis is suggested the research in liquor of the capsular polysaccharide, and a personal observation is reported.
