Table 1. Results of 3 cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) samples collected over 3 days. Initially, the nucleated cells were only mildly elevated, but in the next 2 days, the nucleated cells progressively rose. There was a persistent lymphocytic predominance and mild protein elevation, but glucose levels were within the reference range. Opening pressure continued to be elevated.
