While the mean fold-change in secreted IFN-gamma levels showed a significant increase in IFN-gamma in the C19wSepsis (> 3-fold increase, ****p<0.0001) and Sepsis Alone (> 2-fold increase, **p=0.0025) cohorts compared to the control group, IFN-gamma levels in the C19NoSepsis cohort were not significantly different from that in the control cohort (p>0.05). This evidence concerns the gene IFNG and Sepsis.
