It is possible to increase the sensibility of latex agglutination test in the diagnosis of purulent meningitis (H. influenzae, N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae). The results with rate of the volume latex/CSF of 1/5, rotative agitation and lecture of agglutination after five minutes are better than volume 1/1, manual agitation and rapid lecture after two minutes.
