One thousand specimens of CSF were collected from subjects ranging in age from newborn to 18 yr, who were undergoing a diagnostic lumbar puncture. Sixty-two samples were judged retrospectively as being suitable for calculating reference age-related values. The analyses were performed by an amino acid analyser using ion-exchange chromatography with fluorimetric detection giving a tenfold increase in sensitivity, thereby enhancing the diagnostic capabilities. As many as 36 known compounds could be detected, additionally 10 we could not identify. In children older than 3 yr nine of the identified compounds showed age-dependency. We found 22 amino acids to be significantly higher in infants younger than 1 yr, with only gamma-aminobutyric acid being significantly lower in infants. Alpha-aminoadipic acid showed a sex difference, being slightly higher in girls.
