Bilirubin toxicity in a neuroblastoma cell line N-115: II. Delayed effects and recovery.

abstract：:Despite effective antibiotic treatment, neuronal injury is frequent among children and adults with bacterial meningitis resulting in a high rate of death and neurologic sequelae. The hematopoietic cytokine erythropoietin (EPO) provides neuroprotection in models of acute and chronic neurologic diseases. We studied whet...
