RECUENTO DE LEUCOCITOS EN LIQUIDO CEFALORRAQUIDEO DE RECIEN NACIDOS SANOS

El recuento de leucocitos en LCR del recién nacido es semejante al del adulto (= 5 leucocitos/mm3). En neonatos sintomáticos sin infección del sistema nervioso central es posible encontrar una leve pleocitosis, pero no es un hallazgo normal y debería aumentar nuestro índice de sospecha. Esto es particularmente relevante en neonatos asintomáticos con riesgo de infección congénita: el hallazgo inesperado de una leve pleocitosis (> 5 leucocitos/mm3) puede ser un signo temprano de afección del sistema nervioso central.
