Pairwise comparisons of cytokine concentrations (in logarithmic scale) in the CSF of LNB patients and other patient groups. Pairwise comparisons between LNB patients and non-LNB controls, MS patients, and TBE patients were made using independent samples t test and Bonferroni’s method was used to adjust the p values. The cytokines were placed in order according to calculated p values. Difference of means between the patient groups with 95 % confidence intervals are presented for all of the cytokines. The vertical lines in each panel separate statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) and not significant differences (n.s.). a Comparison of LNB patients and non-LNB controls. b Comparison of LNB patients and MS patients. c Comparison of LNB patients and TBE patients
