“…There were 28 patients who had CSF IL-6 measured, 21 (75%) of whom had an increased concentration based on the author’s reported normal; 11/21 patients with increased CSF IL-6 concentration had serum IL-6 concentration measured, and this was elevated for all 11 patients [ 10 , 30 , 31 , 98 , 111 , 128 , 135 , 149 , 165 , 182 , 191 , 205 , 215 , 217 , 236 ]. Keller et al measured IL-6 in the CSF and serum of 5 patients (2 with hemiparesis, 1 who was comatose, 1 who was encephalopathic and 1 who had seizures) and found it was elevated in 4/5 patients, but was lower than it was in serum [ 182 ].…”
