Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens were tested for interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The results showed that only 1 of 14 (7%) meningitis children has a measurable TNF-α level in CSF. By contrast, 4 of 6 (67%) CSF specimens and 10 of 12 (83%) serum specimens in encephalitis children had detectable TNF-α. Children with meningitis tended to have a higher CSF IL-6 level with borderline significance (378 ± 207 pg/mL vs. 153 ± 157 pg/mL; P = 0.075), and had a significantly lower CSF TNF-α level (1.4 ± 5.1 pg/mL vs. 109 ± 87 pg/mL; P = 0.003) than children with encephalitis. CSF concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α tended to be higher in those with confirmed EV71 infections than in other encephalitis children with a borderline statistical significance (P = 0.075 and 0.061, respectively). In conclusion, IL-6 response is more prominent in enterovirus meningitis, whereas TNF-α response is more prominent in enterovirus encephalitis. The difference in cytokine response may be one of the underlying mechanism accounting for different severities of various enterovirus CNS infection.
