| Popis: | The levels of rheumatoid factors (RF) of IgM-RF and IgG-RF classes were measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) in the sera of patients with spinal injuries. Analysis showed that 46% of patients with spinal injuries were seropositive for IgG-RF-and 40% for IgM-RF; no IgG-RF was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), whereas the IgM-RF content was 37.6 μg/ml. Results of RF measurements in the sera make it possible to qualify the systemic involvement of the body in the late period of a spinal injury as a rheumatic disease. The findings point to the presence of independent mechanisms of immune control in the CSF. |
