Abstract
A cell-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was developed for the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis by determining anti-purified prote in derivative antibody production by cells derived from cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral blood. Of 20 patients with clinical histories and CSF findings suggestive of tuberculous meningitis, 18 showed high pro duction of anti-purified protein derivative immunoglobulin antibody fr om CSF-derived lymphocytes, while none of the controls showed such res ponse.
