Validated age-specific reference values for CSF total protein levels in children

Abstract Objective To define age-specific reference values for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) total protein levels for children and validate these values in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods Reference values for C...
