“…Altered mental status (odds ratio [OR], 3.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7-5.9), high cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fungal burden (OR, 1.4 per log10 colony-forming units/mL increase; 95% CI, 1.0-1.8), older age (&gt;50 years; OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 1.4-11.1), high peripheral white blood cell count (&gt;10 × 10(9) cells/L; OR, 8.7; 95% CI, 2.5-30.2), fluconazole-based induction treatment, and slow clearance of CSF infection were independently associated with 2-week mortality. …”

Interleukins-1 and -6 stimulate the release of corticotropin-releasing hormone-41 from rat hypothalamus in vitro via the eicosanoid cyclooxygenase pathway. द्वारा Navarra, P, Tsagarakis, S, Faria, MS, Rees, L, Besser, G, Grossman, A

“…It is therefore concluded that IL-6, like IL-1, can exert a potent enhancing effect on the HPA by acutely stimulating the secretion of CRH-41 from the hypothalamus at a site above the level of the median eminence, at concentrations known to occur in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. These effects are probably mediated by cyclooxygenase products. …”
