The aim of the study was to investigate quantification of serum serotonin levels and compare the results with inflammatory markers in patients with acute traumatic brain injury. We investigated cytokine, serotonin, psychovegetative status in 72 patients with traumatic brain injury of mild to moderate severity. Increase of serotonin, depending on the severity correlates with the antiinflammatory cytokine markers. Quantitative content of serum serotonin levels may serve as a method of differential diagnosis of brain concussion and contusion.
