Tumour Necrosis Factor-α Production and Immune Cell Activation in Tuberculous Meningitis
The local production of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα) was evaluated in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from ten patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). The degree of intrathecal immune activation was also studied by assessing the CSF levels of β2-microglobulin (β2-M) and adenosine deaminase acti...
