title: [Antibodies to galactocerebrosides of the brain in the blood serum of children with neuroinfections].
abstract: This is the first investigation into the content of autoantibodies to a glycolipid antigen (AG) marker of oligodendroglial and myelin membranes, and to galactocerebrosides, in the blood serum of children with neuroinfections. High titres of these antibodies were shown in most cases of meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalomyelitis. High titres can persist for a long time. The data suggest that oligodendroglial and myelin structures are involved into the pathology and that autosensitization to nervous tissue is developing.
