Estimation of serum neopterin level as an early marker for detecting severe dengue infection
International Journal of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 2019 Background: This study aimed to determine the role of neopterin in the early assessment of dengue severity in children of age one month to 18 years admitted for fever and confirmed by dengue serology.

Pteridines, 1989 Summary A brief review is given on the value of neopterin determination as a biochemical marker for the in vivo activation state of cell-mediated immunity. In a broad spectrum of diseases which are recognized or supposed to involve activation of monocytes/macrophages by interferon gamma derived from activated T lymphocytes, the applicability and ...

Clinical significance of increased serum neopterin in chronic kidney failure as a biomarker of cell-mediated immunity [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2019 Background: Neopterin is a pyrazino-pyrimidine compound which is used as a marker of cell-mediated immunity in a variety of diseases. It is known that neopterin levels increase in diseases where interferon-gamma (IFN-g) stimulation is present, and also ...

Serum neopterin is elevated in patients infected with
Gut Pathogens, 2010 Background Neopterin is produced by human macrophages/monocytes when stimulated with interferon-gamma. Production of neopterin is found in serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and urine of patients with infections by viruses, intracellular bacteria and ...

Neopterin Determinations in Tuberculous Bone Infections
Pteridines, 1994 In patients with tuberculous chest infections caused by intracellular Mycobacteria elevated serum neopterin levels could be found. In the present study neopterin levels were elevated in 5/6 patients with proven tuberculous bone infections as well ...

Pteridines, 1998 Summary Not only in blood transfusion, but also in transplantation of allogenous bone, infection of patients with bacteria and especially with virus is possible. Neopterin as an unspecific marker of an activated cellmediated immune response is elevated in fresh viral infection even before antibodies are detectable. Additional determination of neopterin

Clinical Usefulness of Determining the Concentration of Neopterin
Pteridines, 2011 Neopterin is one of biochemical markers of immune activity, which seems to be useful in monitoring inflammatory diseases. Increased serum concentration of neopterin is observed in conditions with cell-mediated immune response involvement.
