In this study, we assessed circulating immune cells and plasma cytokine levels in 15
pediatric patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). DRE patients had a significantly higher …

We analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and serum inflammatory
biomarkers in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (drug-resistant–DR, vs. drug …

Although convulsive disorders have been associated with immune abnormalities, little is
known about cytokine production in epileptic patients. We evaluated the concentrations of …

Purpose: Excessive neuronal activity and seizures directly stimulate cytokine expression. In
this study we investigated cytokine production in circulating blood and peripheral blood …

Neuroinflammation is probably one of the factors involved in drug resistance in people with
epilepsy. Finding peripheral markers reflecting the intensity of neuroinflammation could be …

OBJECTIVE: We analyzed cytokines levels in patients with epilepsy and new onset seizure
and correlated it various parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After obtaining consent …

Objective Adult drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) is associated with significant morbidity.
Infiltration of immune cells is observed in DRE epileptic foci; however, the relation between …

Immunological phenomena may affect the course of focal epilepsy. We analyzed
prospectively the pre-and postictal distribution of leukocyte subsets in epileptic patients …

Purpose Recently, it was found that chronic inflammation contributes to the pathomechanism
of diverse chronic diseases in various organs. There is accumulating evidence that …

Previous studies have reported activation of inflammatory cytokines in seizures, but clinical
characteristics of epilepsy associated with cytokine activation have not been well …
