Fig. 3From: Chemokines and matrix metalloproteinases in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with central nervous system complications caused by varicella-zoster virusMMP levels in CSF from patients with VZV CNS infections. CSF levels of MMP2 (a), MMP3 (b), MMP8 (c), MMP9 (d), and MMP12 (e) were compared in VZV patients with different CNS disease manifestations: encephalitis (n = 29), meningitis (n = 20), and Ramsay Hunt syndrome (n = 17) and in uninfected controls (n = 24). Data are presented as individual values with medians indicated by horizontal bars. Comparisons were performed using Kruskal-Wallis’ non-parametric test with Dunn’s post-test. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05Back to article page
