CXCL13 and encephalitis: We performed comparisons between most sensitive CSF cytokine/chemokines (CXCL13, CXCL10, IFN-α, IL-10, IL-6 and TNF-α) and CSF protein, CSF pleocytosis, timing of CSF sample from the onset of neurological symptoms, and age at encephalitis presentation using spearman correlation tests (non parametric test, n = 24 comparisons were made in each analysis group).
