title: [Analysis of beta-"trace" protein detects leakage of cerebrospinal fluid. Quickly, safely and cheaply].
abstract: beta-trace protein is an immunological marker for the detection of cerebrospinal fluid leakage to the nose or ear. Analysis of beta-trace protein via a nephelometric assay is a valuable test for the identification of cerebrospinal fluid in rhinorrhea or otorrhea.
