In a serum profiling study in pediatric burn patients, individuals who did not survive sepsis had significantly increased admission serum concentrations of IL-6 (15-fold), IL-8 (5-fold), IL-10 levels (15-fold), granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (3-fold), and IFN-γ (4-fold), TNF-α (4-fold), and interleukin 12 (IL-12p70) (4-fold) compared to those who did not develop sepsis during acute hospitalization [11]. The gene discussed is CXCL8; the disease is Sepsis.
