Levels of markers of systemic inflammation and growth factor VEGF-A as well as the activation of humoral immunity are increased in patients with schizophrenia compared with controls. For the first time, the relationship of immunological parameters with the coefficient of quantitative anisotropy in the area of the corpus callosum in schizophrenia was revealed. The results indicate the possible value of indicators of the activation of the humoral immune response and systemic inflammation as markers of neurophysiological changes and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.
