The<unk> , also known as<unk> /Blood glucose ratio, is a measurement used to compare<unk>  glucose and blood sugar. Because many bacteria metabolize glucose, and because the blood brain barrier minimizes transversal, the ratio can be useful in determining whether there is a bacterial infection in the<unk> . The normal ratio is 0.6. It is used to distinguish between bacterial and viral meningitis, as it is often lowered in bacterial meningitis and normal in viral meningitis.
