Abstract
CPK1 (BB) was detected in the sera of 16 patients during an 18-month period. Eight of 16 had undergone cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation. Four of these eight had clinical or EEG evidence of cerebral damage. The brain is the most probable source for CPK1 in these eight cases. Two others had proven brain damage, one a massive cerebral infarct and one a traumatic cerebral hematoma requiring craniotomy. One patient had membranous enterocolitis, suggesting an intestinal source for CPK1. The source for the CPK1 in the other five cases was much less obvious, but was probably the brain.Keywords
