Since production of IL-18/IFNγ can also be affected by NLRP3-inflammasome and caspase-1 activation, we assessed IL-18, IFNγ, and CXCL10 levels in BALF and serum of patients with C-ARDS or NC-ARDS and of control subjects. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
