Elevated Cerebrospinal Fluid Neopterin Concentration Is Associated with Disease Severity in Acute Puumala Hantavirus Infection

Table 2

Summary of the statistical correlation between the CSF neopterin concentration and plasma creatinine and blood thrombocyte count measured in the morning of lumbar puncture, duration of hospitalisation, weight change during the hospitalisation, and change in the refractory properties of an eye between the acute-phase and one month later.

	CSF neopterin
Plasma creatinine	𝑟=0.66; 𝑃=0.001
Blood thrombocytes	𝑟=−0.42; 𝑃<0.05
Length of hospitalization	𝑟=0.42; 𝑃<0.05
Weight change	𝑟=−0.53; 𝑃<0.05
Change in refraction of eye	𝑟=0.47; 𝑃<0.05
