| Laboratory tests (reference values) |
Results (first LP) | Results (second LP) | Results (third LP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lymphocytes (B, 1.10–4.40 G/L) |
1.05 | 0.96 | 1.02 |
| Leukocytes (< 3/mm3) | 101 | 301 | 145 |
| Erythrocytes (< 3 mg/dL) | 856 | 75 | 24.000 |
| Proteins (15–40 mg/dL) | 154 | 208 | 128 |
| Glucose (40–70 mg/dL) | 54 | 61 | 53 |
| Pressure opening | – | 8 cm H2O | – |
| PCR virus (CSF) | Negative | Negative | |
| CSF immunophenotyping | – | 100% lymphocytes with normal phenotype, 73% T-lymphocytes: 52% CD4 (37% activated) and 44% CD8 (39% activated) | – |
Lumbar punctures (LPs) were performed 16 days (1st), 25 days (2nd) and 36 days (3rd) after vaccine. 1st and 3rd LP were traumatic. The 3rd LP was performed 10 days after dexamethasone onset. CSF clearance was observed in all samples after centrifugation.
