Abstract
The result of our determination of the sugar in the spinal fluid of patients with Japanese B-encephalitis last summer revealed that about half of the patients ranged in the normal level during the crisis while others were in the higher range; theue were no cases in the lower range (average level 77.3mg/dl).
It is significant that their prognosis was bad in cases involving the higher level while some eases were lethal, especially in the highest level.
It seemed that there was a relationship between cell numbers and sugar content in cerebrospinal fluid and C.F.T. (Complement Fixation Test) of serum.
We believe that in the coming epidemics our task will be to clear the relationships between cell numbeus and sugar content in cerebrospinal fluid and C.F.T. and between spinal sugar and blood sugar.
