Serum cytokines showed significant differences in MIP-1β versus TARC (CC chemokine ligand 17) in patients with either PASC or COVID-19 (p < 0.02); IL10 versus IL-12p70a (p < 0.02); IL-1b versus IL-6 (p < 0.01); MCP1 versus TARC (p < 0.03); IL-8 versus TARC (p < 0.002); and Eotaxin3 versus TARC (p < 0.004) in PASC. The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is COVID-19.
