Raised levels of IL-6 are one of the most common findings in infection, and IL-6 levels in the blood are effective for assessing the presence of infection [23]; IL-6 concentrations in sepsis patients can reach up to 1600 pg/mL [24], in contrast to normal adults where the levels are generally less than 7.8 pg/mL [25, 26]. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is infection.
