Evidence of Intrathecal Immunoglobulin Synthesis in Stroke by Luís Pacheco is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study investigates the frequency of intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis in stroke patients, revealing that 24.8% exhibited such synthesis compared to only 2.5% in matched controls. The findings suggest a potential immunological role in the pathophysiology of stroke, as many patients also showed blood-brain barrier dysfunction. The high prevalence of oligoclonal bands in stroke patients indicates a need for further research into the implications of immune responses following cerebral ischemia.
