Klinik fur Neurologie, Klinikum der Universität zu Köln, Josef Stelzmann Strasse 9, 50924 Köln
Nervenarzt 73:785-91. 2002..The possible role of the DRG system as a cost- and quality-controlling tool in the German public health system as well as its potential risks in the absence of broadly accepted treatment guidelines is discussed...
Low interferon gamma producers are better treatment responders: a two-year follow-up of interferon beta-treated multiple sclerosis patientsH F Petereit
Department of Neurology and Psychiatry, University of Cologne, Cologne 50924, Germany
Mult Scler 8:492-4. 2002..6%. These preliminary results encourage further evaluation of IFG as predictor of an IFNB treatment response...
Low interleukin-10 production is associated with higher disability and MRI lesion load in secondary progressive multiple sclerosisH F Petereit
Department of Neurology and Psychiatry, University of Cologne, Josef Stelzmann Str 9, D 50924 Cologne, Germany
J Neurol Sci 206:209-14. 2003..009) and lower T2 lesion load (p=0.03). Interleukin-10 might not only play a role in the pathological process of multiple sclerosis but has an impact on disease outcome as well...
Effect of immunomodulatory drugs on in vitro production of brain-derived neurotrophic factorH F Petereit
Department of Neurology, University of Cologne, D 50924 Cologne, Germany
Mult Scler 9:16-20. 2003..001). These in vitro findings might indicate that Igs in high doses potentially interfere with neuroprotective mechanisms despite their potent anti-inflammatory properties...
No effect of intravenous immunoglobulins on cytokine-producing lymphocytes in secondary progressive multiple sclerosisH F Petereit
Department of Neurology and Psychiatry, University of Cologne, Josef Stelzmann Str 9, 50924 Kö1n, Germany
Mult Scler 12:66-71. 2006..Against our expectations, IVIG did not reduce the relapse rate or the progression of disability or cytokine production. Our data argue against an enduring immunomodulating effect of IVIG, at least in SPMS...
[Detecting infectious agents in central nervous system inflammation by cerebrospinal fluid analysis]H F Petereit
Klinik und Poliklinik fur Neurologie, Klinikum der Universität zu Köln
Nervenarzt 77:481-92; quiz 493-4. 2006..The following text gives an overview of appropriate detection methods and their relevance to the most important CNS infections...
The immunomodulatory properties of in vitro immunoglobulins are dose-dependentD Reske
Department of Neurology, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Acta Neurol Scand 108:267-73. 2003..CONCLUSION: Besides a suppression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-gamma and TNF, IgG enhances the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. This effect is dose-dependent, speaking in favour of higher IgG doses in the treatment of MS...
Difficulties in the differentiation of chronic inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system--value of cerebrospinal fluid analysis and immunological abnormalities in the diagnosisD Reske
Department of Neurology, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Acta Neurol Scand 112:207-13. 2005..g. multiple sclerosis (MS). Because of different treatment strategies, it is important to distinguish between these different autoimmune diseases...
Stroke after initiation of interferon-beta treatment for relapsing-remitting disseminated white matter diseaseB Bosche
Department of Neurology, University of Cologne, Germany
Acta Neurol Scand 113:433-6. 2006..CONCLUSION: The authors suggest that all diagnostic multiple sclerosis criteria including typical CSF findings should be ascertained before INF-beta treatment is initiated...
Long-term persisting interferon beta-1b neutralizing antibodies after discontinuation of treatmentD Reske
Department of Neurology, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Acta Neurol Scand 109:66-70. 2004..CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that IFNB therapy may induce long-term NAB production which persists even after discontinuating IFNB treatment. Possible immunological mechanisms are discussed...

Department of Neurology, University of Ulm, Germany
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 75:1614-6. 2004..Because dementia is associated with neuronal loss, we investigated whether leptomeningeal dysfunction may be involved in the pathogenesis of dementia disorders...
Gender change and its impact on the course of multiple sclerosisD Reske
Department of Neurology, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany
Acta Neurol Scand 113:347-9. 2006..As there are several studies investigating an immunomodulatory impact of hormones on the course of MS or experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, we discuss the presented case and a possible influence of androgens in this patient...
