| pubmed:abstractText |
Blood contamination is commonly observed in ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with extraventricular drainage systems. Because the introduction of blood may interfere with the white blood cell count as a useful marker for the diagnosis of an infection, correction for blood content would be desirable.
