Rapid Diagnosis of Tuberculous Meningitis by T Cell–Based Assays on Peripheral Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid Mononuclear Cells

Abstract

ELISPOT assays using peripheral mononuclear cells and CSF mononuclear cells are useful adjuncts to the current tests for diagnosing TBM, particularly when used in combination with the assessment of adenosine deaminase level in CSF.
