Increased levels of plasma cytokines and correlations to organ failure and 30-day mortality in critically ill Covid-19 patients

Sara Bulow Anderberg et al.

Summary: This study found that critically ill Covid-19 patients presented with an acute cytokine response upon admission, with correlations between respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, and 30-day mortality. Cytokine expression, particularly IL-8, showed a strong association with mortality outcomes in Covid-19 patients.

Cytokine Expression of Lung Bacterial Infection in Newly Diagnosed Adult Hematological Malignancies

Zengzheng Li et al.

Summary: In adult patients newly diagnosed with hematological malignancies, elevated levels of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 were associated with lung bacterial infections. Monitoring the abnormal increase of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 can help in predicting bacterial infections in the lungs of these patients.

Interleukin-6: obstacles to targeting a complex cytokine in critical illness

Oliver J. McElvaney et al.

Summary: IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a dual role in both inflammation and anti-inflammatory functions. Understanding the complex signaling processes of IL-6 is crucial for accurately interpreting its concentrations in blood or lungs, utilizing it as a critical care biomarker, and designing effective anti-IL-6 strategies.

Utility of interferon gamma/tumor necrosis factor alpha FluoroSpot assay in differentiation between active tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis infection: a pilot study

Lifan Zhang et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha FluoroSpot assay for differentiation of active tuberculosis (ATB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). It was found that the assay has the potential to help differentiate ATB from LTBI. Further verification through cross-sectional or prospective cohort studies is needed.

Interleukin 6 as a marker of severe bacterial infection in children with sickle cell disease and fever: a case-control study

Elena Maria Rincon-Lopez et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the pattern of inflammatory biomarkers in sickle cell disease (SCD) febrile children and controls, and found that IL-6 was an optimal marker for severe bacterial infection (SBI) in SCD children, with high positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), potentially aiding in early discrimination and management of SBI risk.
