[Neurological diseases in childhood and cytokines].

Immune and inflammatory responses are related to the pathogenesis of various diseases, including neurological diseases in childhood. Cytokines modify the pathogenesis of these diseases. Analyses of cytokines and transcription factor NF-kappa B activation in patients with acute encephalitis, bacterial meningitis, tracheostomy and profound multiple disabilities, and neonatal asphyxia were described. It is important for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases to understand their pathogenesis and severity by analyzing cytokines and NF-kappa B activation.
