Elevated Cerebrospinal Fluid Neopterin Concentration Is Associated with Disease Severity in Acute Puumala Hantavirus Infection by Timo Hautala, Terhi Partanen, Tarja Sironen, Saara-Mari Rajaniemi, Nina Hautala, Olli Vainio, Olli Vapalahti, Heikki Kauma, Antti Vaheri

“…The neopterin levels were elevated (>5.8 nmol/L) in 22 (96%) NE-patients (mean 45.8 nmol/L); these were especially high in patients with intrathecal PUUV-IgM production (mean 58.2 nmol/L, P=0.01) and those with elevated CSF protein concentrations (mean 63.6 nmol/L, P<0.05). We also observed a correlation between the neopterin and high plasma creatinine value (r=0.66, P=0.001), low blood thrombocyte count (r=-0.42, P<0.05), and markedly disturbed refractory properties of an eye (r=0.47, P<0.05). …”
