CSF and serum immune parameters in Sydenham's chorea: evidence of an autoimmune syndrome?
Andrew J Church et al. J Neuroimmunol. 2003 Mar.
Abstract
Previous investigations have suggested that Sydenham's chorea (SC) may be an autoantibody mediated disorder. We examined this autoimmune hypothesis by measuring Th1 (IFN-gamma, IL-12) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-10) cytokines, oligoclonal bands (OCB) and anti-basal ganglia antibodies (ABGA). CSF IL-4 was elevated in 31% of acute SC and 50% of persistent SC. CSF IL-10 was also elevated in 31% of acute SC but 0% of persistent SC. CSF IFN-gamma was undetectable in all patients. Serums IL-4, IL-10 and IL-12 were elevated in acute compared to persistent SC. OCB were found in 46% of acute SC, ABGA were in 93% of acute SC and 50% of persistent SC was of IgG(1) and IgG(3) subclass. These findings support an autoantibody pathogenesis.
