The experience with the virological diagnosis of lymphocytic meningitis in the Centro Nacional de Microbiología during 3 years (1984-1986) included 632 cases. The most common causative organism was the parotiditis virus (46.9%), particularly in children (64.6%), followed by the non-polio enteroviruses (25.3%). The varicella-zoster virus was the most common organism found in adults (33.3%). We describe some clinical and epidemiological aspects, emphasizing the absence of clinical features suggesting herpesvirus infection in about 50% of cases. Finally, we indicate the study techniques or methods more adequate in each instance (specific IgM detection, isolation techniques or detection of intrathecal antibody production), and we define a study protocol for cases of acute lymphocytic meningitis which permits a high diagnostic yield (44.1-54.9%).
