No statistically significant differences were observed in IL-1β levels between sepsis and non-sepsis control cases; conversely, both sIL-2R and LBP levels revealed elevated in all sepsis cases, both ante mortem and post mortem, but not in any control cases, thus inducing the authors to consider both markers suitable for a post-mortem diagnosis of sepsis (p < 0.01). Here, IL1B is linked to Sepsis.
