Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) affects the developing white matter of neonatal brain. Inflammatory and infectious conditions are implicated in the cause of PVL.
The authors investigated the in situ expression of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β and -6, tumor necrosis factor α [TNFα]), adhesion molecules (intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) and inflammatory cell markers (CD68, leukocyte common antigen, human leukocyte antigen II) in 19 neonatal brains with PVL. The authors compared the findings with matched non-PVL brains.
