Is neopterin a diagnostic marker of acute appendicitis?
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of acute appendicitis, even for experienced surgeons, can sometimes be complex. A delay in diagnosis increases the complication rate. This experimental study aimed to investigate the suitability and significance of neopterin as a marker for acute appendicitis. METHODS The levels of neopterin were measured using an acute appendicitis animal model in 35 New Zealand male...
متن کاملHighly efficient SERS-based detection of cerebrospinal fluid neopterin as a diagnostic marker of bacterial infection
A highly efficient recognition unit based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was developed as a promising, fast, and sensitive tool for detection of meningococcal meningitis, which is an extremely serious and often fatal disease of the nervous system (an inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord). The results of this study confirmed that there were specific differen...
متن کاملCSF neopterin level as a diagnostic marker in primary central nervous system lymphoma.
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) can be challenging. PCNSL lesions are frequently located deep within the brain, and performing a cerebral biopsy is not always feasible. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of CSF neopterin, a marker of neuroinflammation, in immunocompetent patients with suspected PCNSL. METHODS We retrospect...
متن کاملAcinetobacter immune responses in multiple sclerosis: etiopathogenetic role and its possible use as a diagnostic marker.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of neurologic disability among young people. The etiology of MS is controversial, but immune responses are considered to somehow be involved. The diagnosis of MS depends on a combination of various clinical and laboratory features, but apart from some myelin-neuronal autoantibody profiles or oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid no other s...
متن کاملSerum neopterin as a marker for reactional states in leprosy.
Reactions, a relatively common phenomenon among leprosy patients in treatment, require early detection and proper management to prevent serious sequelae. It is generally accepted that reactional states are immunologically mediated and, as such, usually improve with immunomodulatory treatments such as corticosteroids or thalidomide. Neopterin, a product of gamma-interferon-activated macrophages,...
