The demographic and clinical features of NMO/NMOSD and NND patients who received a lumbar puncture.

	NMO/NMOSD patients	NND patients
	15	8
Age (years)	53 (25–63)	39 (25–58)
Female/male	14/1	7/1
Diagnosis	NMO/NMOSD	6-Migraine; 2-Idiopathic epilepsy
CSF WBC count (10^6/L)	18 (4–91)	3 (0–8)
CSF protein (g/L)	0.69 (0.3–2.7)	0.28 (0.18–0.39)
CSF IgG (mg/L)	82.5 (25.3–181)	23 (12–31)

Data shown are medians and ranges, except as specified. CSF: cerebrospinal fluid; NND: noninflammatory neurological disease; WBC: white blood cell. Normal values: CSF WBC count, 0–8 × 10⁶/L; CSF protein concentration, 0.15–0.45 g/L; CSF IgG concentration, 0–34 mg/L. versus data for HCs.
