Fig. 2From: Cerebrospinal fluid CXCL13 as a diagnostic marker of neuroborreliosis in children: a retrospective case-control studyCSF CXCL13 concentrations in various control groups. Non-LNB patients were further classified in various disease groups according to the presence of a differential diagnosis. Definite LNB patients are shown for comparison. Black lines indicate medians. Values lower than the detection limit were arbitrarily assigned a value of 4.5 pg/ml. The dashed line indicates the optimal cut-off at 55 pg/ml. The “Inflammatory” group included three Guillain-Barré syndrome, three retrobulbar optic neuritis, one acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and one parainfectious brainstem encephalitis.
