From: Relevance of novel inflammatory markers in stroke-induced immunosuppression
Selected inflammatory parameters in controls and acute ischemic stroke patients measured within 6 hours (Stroke 1) and one week after (Stroke 2) the insult. The prevalence of CD64+ neutrophils may reflect a biphasic alteration of the immune response in acute ischemic stroke patients free of infection (inflammation followed by immunosuppression). Horizontal line – median, box – IQR, whisker – range. *p < 0.05 vs. Control, #p < 0.05 vs. Stroke 1. CRP – C-reactive protein, suPAR – soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, WBC – white blood cell count.
