Risk factors and clinical manifestations of @entity364 of the CNS were analyzed in 57 autopsied @entity1 . @entity2381 occurred in 16, @entity7553 in 27, and @entity1328 in 14. Nine of 31 variables studied showed significant difference (p less than 0.01). @entity1328 was community-acquired in 93%; whereas, @entity2381 and @entity7553 were nosocomial in more than 95%. Focal @entity51 developed in 50% with CNS @entity2381 , but in only 4% with @entity7553 . Meningeal signs occurred in 86% with CNS @entity1328 , but in only 6% with @entity2381 and 7% with @entity7553 . Discriminant analysis demonstrated that CNS @entity2381 was most frequently a @entity580 with focal @entity51 , @entity358 , and hypercortisolemia. @entity1328 was generally a non- @entity580 with meningeal signs presenting in an ambulatory population. CNS @entity7553 was a clinically occult nosocomial @entity364 with generally no deficits or meningismus, occurring most frequently in the neonate, the elderly, and surgical @entity1 . The discriminant functions, which correctly classified 91% of these CNS @entity364 , may be applicable in clinical diagnosis.
