Figure 3From: Cytokine responses to Staphylococcus aureusbloodstream infection differ between patient cohorts that have different clinical courses of infection Cytokine levels in patients with uncomplicated Vs complicated SABSI. Cytokine levels in plasma from patients with uncomplicated (clear bars, n = 50) and complicated (solid grey bars, n = 11) SABSI at diagnosis (day 0), day 7 and day 14. Data shown represent mean cytokine concentration ± SEM for IL-6 (A), GRO-γ (B), RANTES (C) and leptin (D). Dotted lines in each panel indicate the mean cytokine levels found in four healthy control individuals.Back to article page
