For a better understanding of the role of the viral load, free radicals, and cytokines in viral meningitis, we surveyed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from patients below 1 year of age who showed positive for enterovirus. In their first examinations interleukin (IL)-6 and free radicals increased whereas pleocytosis was rarely observed. IL-6 decreased within the short period. Viral loads and free radicals increased simultaneously. IL-6 and free radicals of CSF are helpful for diagnosis and treatment of viral meningitis at an early stage.
为了更好地理解病毒载量、自由基和细胞因子在病毒性脑膜炎中的作用,我们对1岁以下肠道病毒检测呈阳性的患者的脑脊液(CSF)进行了调查。在他们的首次检查中,白细胞介素(IL)-6和自由基增加,而很少观察到细胞增多。IL-6在短时间内下降。病毒载量和自由基同时增加。脑脊液中的IL-6和自由基有助于病毒性脑膜炎的早期诊断和治疗。
