    Notes: Summary An immunohistological technique was used to identify activated, i.e. IgG-synthesizing, B cells in cerebrospinal fluid. A total of 177 patients suffering from inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system were investigated. Activated B cells were found in 61% of patients with bacterial meningitis, especially in lethal or prolonged cases. The number of activated B lymphocytes was low in most cases of viral meningitis, whereas in tick-borne meningopolyneuritis Bannwarth, a very strong B cell activation was detectable. In all inflammatory diseases investigated, the B cell response was restricted to the mononuclear phase. Comparing the number of activated B cells and the amount of locally synthesized IgG, there was a loose correlation between these inflammation parameters in meningopolyneuritis Bannwarth. In acute viral and bacterial meningitis more than 50% of the patients exhibited activated B cells without any detectable intrathecal IgG synthesis.

    Notes: Summary A 20-month-old boy — offspring of consanguinous parents, whose mother presumably had subclinical myopathy — presented with clinical signs of congenital non-progressive myopathy, neurogenic-myogenic electromyographic findings and normal motor conduction velocity. Biopsy of quadriceps muscle showed fiber-type disproportion with hypotrophic type 1, hypertrophic 2A and absent 2B fibers. Subsarcolemmal segmental foci of abnormally, in part regularly arranged bundles of mostly thin myofilaments were found in 13% of hypotrophic type 1 fibers. Rods were seen in only 1 fiber out of 20 tissue blocks. Reexamination 6 years later revealed slightly increased muscle force, myopathic EMG pattern and borderline motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities. Biopsy specimen from deltoid muscle consisted of untypable fibers of varying diameters with jagged Z-lines and increased variability of myofibrillar diameters. Multiple rods were present in 1% of the fibers, the formerly seen segmental foci in 0.1% only. Several intramuscular nerves were normal. The case contributes some new features to the spectrum of congenital myopathies of the nemaline type and suggests different stages of arrested maturation of type 1 fibers at least in this particular case.

    Notes: Summary The detection of β trace-protein with the help of an easy-to-perform Ouchterlony test is strongly indicative of liquorrhea. The protein has been purified from pooled cerebrospinal fluid and an antiserum has been produced in rabbits. An open CSF fistula was diagnosed in 24 cases and there was no false positive result.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Methode zur Präparation eines spezifischen und hochpotenten Peroxidase-markierten Antikörpers gegen menschliches IgG beschrieben. Damit wurden Liquorzellpräparate von Patienten mit unterschiedlichen neurologischen Erkrankungen gefärbt. Nur bei entzündlichen Erkrankungen des Zentralnervensystems gelang der Nachweis von IgG. Bei den angefärbten Zellen handelte es sich um sogenannte lymphoide Zellen, wobei die Immunglobuline am ehesten als Syntheseprodukt dieser Zellen anzusehen sind, die somit aktivierte B-Lymphocyten darstellen. Die relative Anzahl dieser Zellen ist am höchsten in der ersten Hälfte der mononukleären Phase und hängt vom Krankheitserreger ab. Während nur wenige aktivierte B-Lymphocyten bei bakteriellen und „benignen“ viralen Meningoencephalitiden nachweisbar waren, war ihre Anzahl bei der Meningopolyneuritis Bannwarth, der Mumpsmeningitis sowie der Herpesencephalitis deutlich höher. Obwohl der Nachweis von lokal im Nervensystem produziertem Immunglobulin erst nach Rückgang der Zellzahl gelingt, ließen sich bei akuten entzündlichen Erkrankungen quantitative Beziehungen zwischen diesen beiden Entzündungsparametern herstellen. Diese quantitativen Beziehungen fanden sich nicht bei chronisch entzündlichen Erkrankungen, obwohl auch hier, besonders bei der Multiplen Sklerose, aktivierte B-Lymphocyten nachweisbar waren.
    Notes: Summary A method for the preparation of a potent and specific peroxidase-labelled antihuman IgG antibody is described. CSF cells from patients with various neurological diseases were stained. Only in cases of inflammatory diseases was IgG detectable. The stained cells were so-called lymphoid cells. As the demonstrable IgG can be regarded as a product of intracellular synthesis, it is justified to call these cells activated B lymphocytes. The relative portion of activated B cells tends to be high in the first half of the mononuclear phase and depends upon the type of disease. It is low in most cases of bacterial and benign viral meningitis whereas high B cell numbers were found in Bannwarth meningopolyneuritis, mumps meningitis and herpes simplex encephalitis. Albeit there exists a time lag between the maximal number of activated B lymphocytes and the demonstration of the secretory immunoglobulin fraction, quantitative correlation between these two inflammation parameters were demonstrated in cases of acute meningoencephalitis. These correlations were not seen in chronic inflammatory diseases.

    Notes: Summary In two cases of acute encephalitis, there was an intrathecal antibody synthesis against measles virus, as determined with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The clinical findings were not consistent with a usual measles infection, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis or acute multiple sclerosis.
