  • pressure = 60-150 mm (patient recumbent)
  • protein = 0.2-0.4 g/l
  • glucose = > 2/3 blood glucose
  • cells: red cells = 0, white cells < 5/mm³

The following conditions are associated with raised lymphocytes
  • viral meningitis/encephalitis
  • TB meningitis
  • partially treated bacterial meningitis
