Abstract

With interest we read the article by Espindola et al. about cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytokine profiles of 48  patients  with  neuro-COVID  (refractory  headache  (n=12,  group-1),  encephalopathy  (n=22,  group-2), inflammatory syndrome (n=14, group-3)) [1]. It wasconcluded that group-3 had elevated IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, CXCL8, and CXCL10, whereas group-2 had elevated IL-6, CXCL8, and active TGF-β1 [1]. We have the following comments and concerns
