title: [Oligoclonal immunoglobulin M in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth meningopolyneuritis].
abstract: Paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples from 15 patients with meningopolyneuritis Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth (MPN-GBB) were investigated by agarosegel electrophoresis (AE) and consecutive immunofixation (IF). Oligoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) was detected in the CSF in 13 cases, 8 of which showed oligoclonal IgM; oligoclonal Ig was not found in the respective serum samples. Local CSF synthesis of IgM is a characteristic feature in patients with MPN-GBB. Further serological testing for borreliosis is mandatory in such cases.
