Multiple biomarkers have been used as diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers predicting outcomes for patients with infection/sepsis, including lactate [8,11,12,13], CRP [9], cluster of differentiation 64 [40], proadrenomedullin [41], interleukin-6 [9,10], procalcitonin [9,10,15,16,42], and many others [10,40,41,43]. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is infection.
