Contemporary aspects of cerebrospinal fluid analysis are discussed, including the relationship to neuro-infective, autoimmune and other neurological diseases. The actual state of cerebrospinal fluid microbiological and cytological investigation and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid protein fractions are described in detail.
