[Quantitative determination of cells in sterile skin exudate in acute cerebrovascular diseases]
Rebuck's test was done in 126 subjects (40 healthy controls and 86 patients with acute cerebrovascular disease) on both upper extremities. In the control group no statistically significant quantitative difference was found in the number of cells in the exudate on both sides. In the patients, however, the number of cells in the exudate was greater on the paralysed extremity. The reaction dependent on the degree of paralysis, coexistence of sensory and autonomic disturbances, but was independent of the form of acute cerebrovascular disease (haemorrhage, encephalomalacia) and the time after the onset of the disease.
