Research Abstract |
To develop neuroprotective therapy, we investigated the pathogeneisis of acute and subacute encephalitis/encephalopathy by measurements of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in combination with conventional neuropathological analysis. The results suggest that CSF tau protein and 8-hydroxy-2’deoxyguanosine could be useful in following the clinical course and monitoring the efficacy of therapies. In addition, the use of patient serum for immunohistochemistry is a sensitive screening method for the detection of anti-neuronal autoantibodies in autoimmune encephalitis.
