Evaluation of plasma levels of neopterin and soluble CD40 ligand in patients with acute ischemic stroke in upper Egypt: can they surrogate the severity and functional outcome?

Background: Inflammation constitutes a major component of ischemic stroke pathology. The prognostic value of "neopterin" and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), as a potential biomarker of ischemic stroke, has been less extensively studied.

Objectives Of The Study: This study aims at assessing the serum levels of neopterin and sCD40L in acute ischemic stroke (AIS), to clarify its association with the severity, etiology, and risk factors of stroke, and to evaluate their relationship with the stroke functional outcome in our study sample within 90 days of follow-up.
