title: [The diagnostic value of enzymes in cerebrospinal fluid (author's transl)].
abstract: The clinical value of enzyme activities in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) should be proved by examination of GOT, GPT, LDH and CPK in blood and CSF of 115 unselected and 4 selected patients. Only the GOT showed a significant correlated increase in diffuse vascular diseases in both, serum and CSF. Discussing the literature the authors affirm, that only mechanical or functional lesion of the blood-brain-barrier will increase the enzyme activities in serum and CSF. The origin of these enzymes however is unknown till now.
