Significance of routine Pan test of cerebrospinal fluid

The routine Pan's test of cerebrospinal fluid is a qualitative method of cerebrospinal fluid protein. The routine Pan's test of cerebrospinal fluid uses the principle that globulin in cerebrospinal fluid can combine with saturated phenol to form insoluble protein salt. The higher the globulin content, the more obvious the reaction. The Pan's test method is normally used as a reference test for protein qualitative test, but it can show false positive reaction. Cerebrospinal fluid protein quantitative examination is the content of biochemical examination. Cerebrospinal fluid protein content is generally 0.15-0.45g/L. Cerebrospinal fluid protein increase is found in central nervous system infection, brain tumor, cerebral hemorrhage, spinal cord compression, Guillain-Barre syndrome, acoustic neuroma, diabetic neuropathy and systemic infection.
