IL4 and Sepsis: Early T-cell cytokine-production capacities of the antiinflammatory cytokines, IL-4 and IL-10, were also lower in sepsis patients as a whole compared with healthy controls (2.9 (0.7 to 5) versus 8.2 (3 to 10) pg/ml; P = 0.03; and 23 (6 to 41) versus 68 (26 to 126) pg/ml, P = 0.02), respectively.
