We measured and compared the plasma levels of 18 cytokines (Th1 [GM-CSF, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, 1L-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12/IL-23p40, IL-15], Th2[IL-4, IL-5, IL-13), Th17 [IL17A], Regulatory cytokine (IL-10) and 7 chemokines (MCP-1/CCL2, MIP-1α/CCL3, MIP-1β/CCL4, RANTES/CCL5, Eotaxin/CCL11, MIG/CXCL9 and IP-10/CXCL10 using the Human Cytokine Magnetic 25-Plex Panel in plasma samples obtained from children with sepsis, clinical malaria and other febrile conditions. Here, CCL4 is linked to Sepsis.
