Abstract
Lymphocyte subpopulations from 10 patients who had had a subarachnoid haemorrhage were analysed. In CSF, an increase of CD3 cells was found in mio of ten, CD4 in one of ten, CD8 in three of ten, and CD19 in thr ee of ten patients. Three patients with delayed ischaemic deficit (DID ) showed a statistically significant increase of intrathecal suppresso r/cytotoxic/NK-cells. The cellular inflammation had been modulated wit hin the CNS indicating a pathogenic role in the biochemical cascades f ollowing SAH.
