Of the ten patients whose CSF was analyzed for chemokine RANTES, four developed sepsis [RANTES levels 376.725 (26.3–226.8) (ρg/ml)] including two who developed cerebral meningitis [RANTES levels 59.76 (26.3–93.1) (ρg/ml)] and six did not develop sepsis throughout their hospital stay [RANTES levels 472.2 (5.4–61.7) (ρg/ml)]. Here, CCL5 is linked to benign neoplasm of brain.
