Abstract
Cerebral contusions contain numerous leukocytes, and a temporal relationship exists among cerebral chemokine expression, leukocyte recruitment, and contusion enlargement. This would suggest a role for chemokines in contusion development. However, it has not been established if serum concentrations of chemokines such as interleukin-8 (IL-8) or monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) change with contusion enlargement.
