title: [Concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1 beta in cerebrospinal fluid in the course of tick-borne encephalitis].
abstract: CSF concentrations of TNF-alpha and Il-1 beta were detected in patients with TBE. The cytokines were detected by immunometric assay by MEDGENIX kit. CSF Concentrations of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta in patients with TBE were significantly higher than in control group before as well as after treatment and normalization of CSF parameters. These concentrations were lower comparing to one obtained in group of bacterial meningitis. There was no correlation between concentration of cytokines and other CSF parameters (cytosis, protein, glucose concentration). Concentrations of analysed cytokines did not change significantly before and after treatment. Detection of CSF concentrations of TNF-alpha and Il-1 beta in patients with tick-borne encephalitis can be used to evaluate efficacy of treatment and retreat of infection.
