Cytokine elevations in infants with bacterial and aseptic meningitis

We sought to determine whether the detection of cytokines, produced during the inflammatory response, would aid in the diagnosis of meningitis in young infants. We measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in 62 infants less than 6 m...

description We sought to determine whether the detection of cytokines, produced during the inflammatory response, would aid in the diagnosis of meningitis in young infants. We measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in 62 infants less than 6 months of age whose condition was evaluated for meningitis. Twenty infants had culture-proved meningitis, 22 had aseptic meningitis, and 20 control infants had no evidence of meningitis. The CSF IL-6 levels were elevated in all 20 infants with bacterial meningitis and in 9 of 22 infants with aseptic meningitis but were undetectable in all control subjects. Furthermore, CSF IL-6 levels were 10 times greater in infants with bacterial versus aseptic meningitis (p
