Abstract
Objective:Ahighlevelofcerebrospinalfluid(CSF)neopterinisamarkerofcentralnervoussysteminflammatory-immune
mediated processes. We aimed to assess data from 606 neuropediatric patients, describing the clinical and biochemical
featuresofthoseneurologicaldisorderspresentingCSFneopterinvaluesaboveanewcut-offvaluethatwasdefinedinour
laboratory.
Methods: To establish the new CSF neopterin cut-off value, we studied two groups of patients: Group 1 comprised 68
patientswithmeningoencephalitis,andGroup2comprised52childrenwithaconfirmedperipheralinfectionandnocentral
nervoussysteminvolvement.Westudied606CSFsamplesfromneuropediatricpatientswhowereclassifiedinto3groups:

(C).
Results:TheCSFneopterincut-offvaluewas61nmol/L.Outof606cases,56presentedaCSFneopterinlevelabovethis
value. Group C had significantly higher CSF neopterin, protein and leukocyte values than the other groups. Sixteen of
twenty-three patients in this group had a CSF neopterin level above the cut-off, whereas three and seven patients
presentedincreasedleukocyteandproteinvalues,respectively.AsignificantassociationwasfoundamongCSFneopterin,
proteins and leukocytes in the 606 patients. White matter disturbances were associated w
