IL6 and infection: Among the next studied molecules, IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations were significantly increased (P< 0.0001) in the infection-primed group (11.82 pg/mL [95% CI 11.28-12.36] and 26.90 pg/mL [95% CI 25.79-28.01]), compared with the infection-naïve one (9.79 pg/mL [95% CI 9.61-9.97] and 23.30 pg/mL [95% CI 22.86-23.73]); however, IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations were not influenced by gender – Figures 4A, B.
