Beta 2-microglobulin concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were measured in a prospective study on 56 children 0-12 years old. In all the patients with virus meningitis values of
beta 2-microglobulin
exceeded 3000 micrograms/l (x = 10.825 micrograms/l). The highest value (48.096 micrograms/l) of
beta 2-microglobulin
in CSF was found in a 13-day-old infant with serious herpes simplex meningitis. The value was 50 times the values in normal children. None of the patients with fever of other origin had values exceeding 3500 micrograms/l, except for one patient with facial nerve
paresis
and 3 patients with sepsis. Some correlation between the concentrations of
beta 2-microglobulin
and albumin was found in the diagnostic groups as a whole, while this correlation disappeared when considering each patient individually. The significance of
beta 2-microglobulin
as a guide in serious infections is discussed.
