Little is known about the mechanisms of CNS involvement in bacterial meningitis. the current study was to analyze the clinical significance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of interleukin (IL)- 6, IL-1, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein in children with meningitis (n=35) and compared with control subjects (n=28). Serum total protein,  interleukine-6, IL-1 , IL-8, IL-10 , and, CRP, and TNF-α levels were found to be significantly high in study group, whereas serum glucose IL-10 levels were significantly low comparing with control group. Positive correlation was observed between IL-6with glucose , CRP  , and IL-8 , also between IL-10 with protein  , TNF with IL-8  ,and IL-1 with CRP  . whereas there was negative correlation  between IL-6 with protein  , TNF ,  IL-1 , IL-10 , also between IL-1 with IL-8  ,between  IL-10  with, and TNF ,  IL-10 with  glucose .  More studies performed in suitable models of meningitis are required in order to establish the routine use of inflammatory markers in the diagnosis of infectious diseases of the central nervous system https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol12no4/estimation-of-some-interleukins-in-cerebrospinal-fluid-in-children-with-meningitis/ Interleukin cerebrospinal fluids meningitis
