Abstract
In 16 patients suffering from cerebrovascular events, prostaglandin(PG)E2 was measured in their CSF and correlated with their clinical status and evolution. PGE2 ranged from 200-3000 pg/ml of CSF. A positive correlation was found between PGE2 levels and the severity and clinical outcome of the stroke.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
