uric acid and Meningitis, Bacterial

uric acid has been researched along with Meningitis, Bacterial in 10 studies

Uric Acid: An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN.
uric acid : An oxopurine that is the final oxidation product of purine metabolism.
6-hydroxy-1H-purine-2,8(7H,9H)-dione : A tautomer of uric acid having oxo groups at C-2 and C-8 and a hydroxy group at C-6.
7,9-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6,8(3H)-trione : An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2, 6, and 8.

Meningitis, Bacterial: Bacterial infections of the leptomeninges and subarachnoid space, frequently involving the cerebral cortex, cranial nerves, cerebral blood vessels, spinal cord, and nerve roots.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Compared with controls, patients with bacterial meningitis showed high concentrations of hypoxanthine, xanthine and urate; patients with viral meningitis showed high concentrations of inosine, guanosine, xanthine, urate and neuron-specific enolase; and patients with tuberculous meningitis showed very high concentrations of inosine, xanthine and urate."5.32Neuron-specific enolase, nucleotides, nucleosides, purine bases, oxypurines and uric acid concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid of children with meningitis. ( Camiña, F; Castro-Gago, M; Cid, E; Rodríguez-García, J; Rodríguez-Núñez, A; Rodríguez-Segade, S, 2003)

"Compared to the controls, patients with viral meningitis exhibited high concentrations of IMP, adenosine, guanosine, adenine, guanine and xanthine; patients with bacterial meningitis exhibited high concentrations of IMP, inosine, guanosine, adenosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and urate; and patients with tuberculous meningitis exhibited high concentrations of AMP, guanosine, xanthine and urate."1.29Concentrations of nucleotides, nucleosides, purine bases and urate in cerebrospinal fluid of children with meningitis.
