Mar 23, 2022

Whether the lumbar puncture protein is a little high is encephalitis depends on the specific situation. Under normal circumstances, lumbar puncture to extract cerebrospinal fluid for examination, it is found that the protein is a little high and the protein test is positive, it can be identified as encephalitis, but patients with encephalitis can also have other symptoms. Therefore, the lumbar puncture protein alone is a bit high, or the protein positive is not just encephalitis, because this can also occur in other diseases, such as high protein and decreased cell count, which is called protein cell separation, which can be seen in Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which is not an inflammation of the brain.

Of course, the typical manifestation of brain inflammation can be a little high in protein, and it can also be seen in the examination of cerebrospinal fluid with elevated white blood cells. You can check the bacteria and fungi of the pathogens, which can clearly diagnose patients with encephalitis. It can also be combined with signs of fever, headache and vomiting Meningeal irritation and other signs of meningeal irritation, all in all, just relying on a little high lumbar puncture protein cannot be determined to be encephalitis, but it can be a clinical manifestation of encephalitis.
