Levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha were measured in cerebrospinal fluids from patients with meningitis. Interleukin-6 was increased in aseptic and bacterial meningitis, whereas tumor necrosis factor alpha was increased only in bacterial meningitis. We concluded that measurement of cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid may be useful for the rapid diagnosis of meningitis.
对脑膜炎患者脑脊液中的白细胞介素-6和肿瘤坏死因子α水平进行了检测。无菌性脑膜炎和细菌性脑膜炎患者的白细胞介素-6水平均升高，而肿瘤坏死因子α仅在细菌性脑膜炎患者中升高。我们得出结论，检测脑脊液中的细胞因子可能有助于脑膜炎的快速诊断。
