Pyogenic Meningitis

We assayed interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients affected by meningitis of different aetiologies, and verified whether IL-6 can be used as a diagnostic marker in the differential diagnosis of meningitis. We used a monoclonal antibody enzyme immunoassay to test 98 CSF samples classified as pyogenic (15), viral (15), self-resolving aseptic meningitis (20), other infectious meningitis (9), neoplastic (4) and normal CSF from patients with (20) and without (15) non-infectious neurological diseases. CSF IL-6 concentrations were increased in pyogenic meningitis (100%) and in more than 50% of viral and other subarachnoid space infections, and rarely in patients without central nervous system infections. Though patients affected by pyogenic meningitis showed the highest levels of CSF IL-6, only a cut-off point ≥10000 pg/mL was able to discriminate pyogenic meningitis from those of other aetiologies with a specificity ≥94% and a positive predictive value of ≥0·75 but the sensitivity was ≤60%. Therefore, CSF IL-6 concentration is not a good diagnostic marker in the differential diagnosis of meningitis.

The Central Nervous System

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system that shares similar immunopathogenic mechanisms with chronic plaque psoriasis, such as the overexpression of the Th17 pathway. We report the case of a patient with multiple sclerosis and severe chronic plaque psoriasis successfully treated with ixekizumab (anti IL-17A and IL-17A/F monoclonal antibody). The treatment achieved a complete skin clearance (PASI 100 response) with no adverse events or evidence of progression of the neurological disease.

Type Distribution

We have previously reported that the cell-type distribution and pattern of expression of the surface antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody 69A1, suggests that it may be involved during the period of nerve fibre outgrowth and the formation of fibre bundles in the rat (Pigott & Kelly, 1986). In this current study, we have examined the expression of the epitope recognized by antibody 69A1 in regions of the rat central nervous system in which it is possible to distinguish between neurones with axons that fasciculate to form clearly defined fibre tracts and neurones with non-fasciculating processes. We have also examined antibody 69A1 labelling in several regions of the peripheral nervous system. We report that the 69A1 epitope is expressed on neurones with axons that fasciculate but is not found on neurones with short, non-fasciculating axons or on neurones without a morphologically identifiable axon. The antigen 69A1 has been purified and shown to be immunochemically closely related or identical to the L1 antigen.
