Neurology, 1999•AAN EnterprisesArticle abstract Lipoteichoic and teichoic acids are components of the cell wall of
Streptococcus pneumoniae. A recently developed enzyme immunoassay was used in
patients with pneumococcal meningitis to investigate lipoteichoic and teichoic acid
concentrations in CSF at the first lumbar puncture in relation to the clinical outcome
determined by the Glasgow Outcome Scale. Lipoteichoic and teichoic acid concentrations in
CSF were significantly associated with neurologic sequelae and mortality in S. pneumoniae …
