As it can be observed in Table 3, a statistically significant difference was found in the CRP, IL6, IL10 and TNFα levels between the groups during the first visit (week 0) (p = 0.0001, p = 0.0004, p = 0.009 and p = 0.0003 respectively), with the infection group reporting generally the highest levels (CRP, Mean = 144.7, SD = 107.2; IL6, Mean = 36.2; SD = 57.2; IL10, Mean = 7.16, SD = 15.47; and TNFα, Mean = 34.21, SD = 39.73) (Table S3). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and infection.
