As in adults, QAlb was positively linked to the spinal cord lesion load as detected by MRI and measured in VS in patients with acute myelitis ( r 2 = 0.175); however, the correlation did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.053) (Fig. 4 ).

showed a trendp = 0.055
CSF lactate levels showed a trend toward lower values with increasing time (in days) since onset of the last attack ( p = 0.055) (Fig. 3 ).
a weak trendp = 0.067
When considering not only the presence or absence of neutrophils but absolute neutrophil numbers, a weak trend toward a correlation ( p = 0.067) was found between CSF l -lactate levels and neutrophil cell numbers in the small subgroup of samples with available data ( N = 19); however, this was neither seen in the adult cohort nor in a pooled analysis of the pediatric and the adult data.
The difference between the acute MY and the acute ON group remained highly significant also when applying the 35 mg/dl cut-off or the age-partitioned cut-off intervals proposed by Kahlmann et al.
