摘要
In bacterial meningitis, neurological damage is associated with a high influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) into the brain. Previous data suggest that the capsular component of the fungus C. neoformans, glucuronoxylomannan (GXM), interferes with PMN-migration into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Therefore, a rabbit model of bacterial meningitis was treated intravenously with GXM. This resulted in (1) a reduction of PMN in the CSF at 6 h (P=0.05), (2) reduced peak TNF-alpha concentrations in the CSF, and (3) diminished tissue inflammation and intravascular margination of PMN in GXM-treated animals. Thus, GXM may represent a novel adjuvant anti-inflammatory agent in bacterial meningitis. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
