talized. The IL-8 values used to distinguish septic from aseptic meningitis, at a cut-off point of
3.00 ixg/I, showed a sensitivity of 81%, a specificity of 92%, and a positive predictive value of
96%. The results suggest that determining IL-8 levels may be useful in the differential
diagnosis of meningitis.
