The presence of a Lymphocytes count in CSF may indicate -
Answer: A
Lymphocytes in the CSF point to viral meningitis.
Normal cerebrospinal fluid holds very few cells. In viral meningitis the cell count rises moderately and the cells are mainly lymphocytes, with normal glucose and a mildly raised protein. Bacterial meningitis, by contrast, gives a high count of neutrophils with low glucose. Tuberculous and fungal meningitis also give a lymphocytic picture, but neither is among the options.
Dehydration, chronic kidney disease and liver dysfunction do not cause inflammation of the meninges, so they do not raise the CSF lymphocyte count.
