pubmed:abstractText
Anti-myelin antibodies (AMA) of IgG, IgM, and IgA class were investigated by ELISA in CSF and serum from patients with meningopolyneuritis Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth (GBB), other inflammatory diseases of the nervous system (ID) comprising meningoencephalitis (ME), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and various noninflammatory neurological diseases (NID). Anti-Borrelia antibodies (ABA) were determined by ELISA in GBB patients. In CSF, a high incidence of IgG-AMA, IgM-AMA, and IgA-AMA was found in GBB as compared with ID and NID. On average, positive AMA titers were higher in GBB than in ID and NID, IgM-AMA titers in GBB being most prominent. In serum, AMA were found in all but 2 patients investigated. On average, IgM-AMA titers were higher in GBB and MS than in other diseases; IgG-AMA titers in GBB and ME were relatively low. Antibody indices, calculated from titer values and Ig concentrations in CSF and serum, indicate intrathecal synthesis mainly of IgG- and IgA-AMA, and of IgG- and IgM-ABA. Participation of AMA in the pathogenesis of GBB may be envisaged, but needs further confirmation.
