title: [CSF examination in cryptococcus meningitis].
abstract: CSF studies of 14 cases of cryptococcus meningitis revealed: 1. Direct discerning of yeast cells in the blood cell counting chamber, by Indian ink stain, and by cytological examination based on Sayk's technic, all were highly positive in repeated examinations. 2. Morphology of cryptococcus and inflammatory cellular reactions in CSF were investigated, and were quite characteristic. 3. Suppression and destruction of yeast cells were attainable only when doses of amphotericin B were sufficient.
