found that RANTES levels were significantly higher in sepsis survivors than in non-survivors; moreover, RANTES levels did not correlate with any other cellular levels (including IL-6, IL-8, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 [MCP-1], etc.), and negatively correlated with acute physiologic assessment and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) scores, with low levels being significantly predictive of poor outcome (38). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and Sepsis.
