👉 Feb fluid, short for fevered effusion, is a type of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that contains elevated levels of proteins and inflammatory cells, typically observed in conditions like bacterial meningitis or encephalitis. It is usually seen in the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord during acute inflammatory processes. The presence of feb fluid in cerebrospinal fluid analysis is a critical diagnostic indicator, suggesting an infection or inflammation affecting the central nervous system. This elevated protein content and increased inflammatory cell count distinguish feb fluid from normal CSF, which typically has low protein levels and fewer inflammatory cells.
