Comparison of T and B cell proportions in CSF of patients.
| NMDAR-AE | HSVE | TBM | F | P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WBC (/μL) [mean ± SD (range)] | 32 ± 21.27 (3-83)#∗ | 98 ± 46.32 (35-220) | 155 ± 76.65 (65-278) | 28.97 | 0.011 |
| Lymph (%) [mean ± SD (range)] | 46 ± 27.52 (30-99) | 53 ± 38.24 (35-95) | 48 ± 35.95 (12-90) | 0.245 | 0.784 |
| CD 3 cell (%) [mean ± SD (range)] | 12 ± 9.47 (1-36) | 14 ± 7.89 (2-27) | 15 ± 9.56 (2-38) | 0.632 | 0.535 |
| CD4 cell (%) [mean ± SD (range)] | 41 ± 25.24 (3-76) | 59 ± 30.26 (12-89) | 50.71 ± 20.50 (11-98) | 2.66 | 0.078 |
| CD8 cell (%) [mean ± SD (range)] | 63 ± 31.59 (32-92)∗ | 66 ± 32.56 (21-98) | 16.36 ± 7.21 (8-25) | 18.95 | 0.001 |
| CD4 : CD8 ratios [mean ± SD (range)] | 0.6 : 1 (0.4-1.3)∗ | 0.9 : 1 (0.3-1.9) | 3.2 : 1 (1.2-5.7) | 59.96 | 0.002 |
| CD20 B cell (%) | 23 ± 12.59 (6.5-55)#∗ | 3 ± 2.87 (1-12) | 2 ± 2.08 (1-11) | 55.84 | 0.001 |
Note: WBC (/μL) indicates the mean of the total CSF leukocyte counts; lymph (%) indicates the mean percentage of lymphocytes in the CSF. CD4 3 cell (%), CD4 T cell (%), CD8 T cell (%), and CD20 B cell (%) indicates each mean percentage in the CSF lymphocytes. CD4 : CD8 ratios mean the ratio between the percentages of CD4 and CD8 cells. #P < 0.05 vs. the HSVE group; ∗P < 0.05 vs. the TBM group.
