GM-CSF, FGF2, VEGF, MIP-1β, and IL-17 were elevated in FMF compared to sepsisTNF-α was increased in sepsis compared to FMFMeasurement of both GM-CSF and TNF-α could distinguish FMF from sepsis with high accuracy (cut-off values for GM-CSF = 8.3 pg/ml; TNF-α = 16.3 pg/ml; sensitivity, 92.9%; specificity, 94.4%; accuracy, 93.4%). The gene discussed is IL17A; the disease is Sepsis.
