A low glucose level in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may indicate several conditions. It can be seen in bacterial meningitis, where the bacteria consume glucose. Other possible causes include fungal or viral infections, brain abscess, or certain types of tumors in the central nervous system. Further diagnostic tests are usually needed to determine the specific cause of the low glucose level.

What would not be found in analysis of cerebrospinal fluid protein glucose red blood cells or ketones?
keotones
What does the gram stain in a cerebrospinal fluid analysis indicate?
The Gram stain is performed on a sediment of the CSF and is positive in at least 60% of cases of bacterial meningitis.

What is cerebrospinal fluid analysis?
The procedure to remove cerebrospinal fluid is called a lumbar puncture, or spinal tap, because the area of the spinal column used to obtain the sample is in the lumbar spine, or lower section of the back.
What are the components of cerebrospinal fluid?
The cerebrospinal fluid contains a high concentration of sodium and chloride. It has small amounts of potassium, calcium, glucose and protein.

What is the removal of CSF?
In a lumbar puncture (LP) procedure, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is removed for analysis of protein, glucose, bacteria, etc., to assist in neurologic disease diagnosis.
