Background Mechanisms involved in progression of stroke are little understood. Studies in animals have shown an association between neuronal death mediated by excitatory aminoacids and deterioration in focal cerebral ischaemia. We looked for an association between concentrations of glutamate and glycine in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and early progression in a prospective study of 128 patients with acute ischaemic stroke.Methods Of 556 consecutive admissions to our emergency unit, 128 eligible patients with ischaemic stroke were included in our study. Blood and CSF samples were taken within the first 24 h from stroke onset when cerebral oedema had been excluded on a previous cranial computed tomography. Ischaemic stroke was judged to be in progression if the Canadian stroke scale score (1.5=maximum neurological deficit, 10=no deficit) fell by 1 or more points during the first 48 h after inclusion. Glutamate and glycine concentrations in plasma and CSF were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. The effect of plasma and CSF glutamate concentrations on progression was analysed by logistic regression.Findings 43 (33.6%) patients had progressing ischaemic stroke. Concentrations of glutamate and glycine in plasma and CSF were higher in patients with progressing stroke than in those with stable cerebral infarcts (p
