Thanks for writing in.
Infection in the spinal fluid usually indicates meningitis or encephalitis. If the blood tests are negative it is important to do a culture of CSF to diagnose the kind of infection.
There is also a possibility that this aseptic meningitis when a person has signs and symptoms of meningitis but bacteria do not grow in culture. It is usually a harmless disease and goes away after 5-15 days.
Please discuss this possibility with your doctor. Take care!
