CXCL8 and Sepsis: In the sepsis group, there was no link between IL-17 levels and WBC, CRP, IL-12, or SOFA scores [r = 0.078, P = 0.482 (Figure 4A); r = 0.097, P = 0.379 (Figure 4B); r = 0.109, P = 0.325 (Figure 4E); r = 0.162, P = 0.140 (Figure 4F)], however IL-17 levels were positively connected with IL-6 and IL-8 (r = 0.278, P = 0.278) [r = 0.278, P = 0.011 (Figure 4C); r = 0.410, P < 0.001 (Figure 4D)].
