Human cytokine patterns assessed in blood by Luminex xMAP technology were able to discriminate infants with fungal sepsis from those with bacterial sepsis or without sepsis, and revealed several biomarker candidates, such as interferon-γ, interleukin 10 (IL-10), interleukin 18 (IL-18), transforming growth factor-β, and tumor necrosis factor-α, for the diagnosis of candidemia in infants with sepsis (144). The gene discussed is IL18; the disease is bacterial infectious disease with sepsis.
