As shown in Table 3, admission DLL1 levels in scrub typhus patients were robustly positively correlated with general inflammation as reflected by CRP and its inducer IL-6 and monocyte/macrophage activation as reflected by sCD163 sCD14, MIF, TNF, and IL-10 as well as markers of vascular inflammation as reflected by YKL-40 and VCAM-1. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is scrub typhus.
