“…Currently, the diagnosis generally is made after the onset of neurological manifestations and heralds a rapidly-fatal course for most patients. Immunocytochemistry techniques, immunophenotyping and biochemical or immunological markers can help in this diagnosis [56,57,66,[71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]. The analysis of CSF biochemical and cellular characteristics, although not specific for the diagnosis of malignant involvement of the CNS, is important and can help with the diagnosis of CNS neoplasms, when associated with other clinical or biomarker characteristics.…”

Meningitis is the main infectious central nervous system (CNS) syndrome. Viruses or bacteria can cause acute meningitis of infectious etiology. The term "Aseptic Meningitis" denotes a clinical syndrome with a predominance of lymphocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with no common bacterial agents identified in the CSF. Viral meningitis is considered the main cause of lymphocyte meningitis. There are other etiologies of an infectious nature. CSF examination is essential to establish the diagnosis and to identify the etiological agent of lymphocytic meningitis. We examined CSF characteristics and the differential diagnosis of the main types of meningitis.

“…Primary cerebral tumors that exfoliated cells to the CSF were all located adjacent to the ventricle. In contrast, cells from tumors deeply localized in cerebral parenchyma are more difficult to find in the CSF [63][64][65][66][67][68].…”
