  ABSTRACT: Delirium and its relation to biochemical markers have been considered a study question in several research works. The relation between S100B levels and delirium is still a matter of discussion. Objective: To compare the serum level of S100B in patients with and without delirium and to detect the relation between S100B and delirium subtypes. Method: A case control study was conducted on 114 elderly (60 years and older) selected from the geriatric acute care unit at Ain Shams University Hospitals. They were classified into two groups; 58 elderly cases who had delirium diagnosed by Confusion Assessment Method and 56 controls. Then delirium was reclassified according to the subtypes of delirium into Hyperactive: 46 patients, hypoactive: 2 patients, and Mixed: 10 patients. Serum S100B levels were determined by ELISA. Results: Cases were significantly older than controls (72.4 ± 9.4 versus 66.9 ± 5.3 years respectively) (P
