Comparative Study of the Immunological Marker IL-6 and the Non-Immunological Marker PCT in Surgery Patients with Infections and Multiple Trauma

Abstract: Abstract:The objective of this study was to assess and to compare the time course of the immunological signaling marker IL-6 and the non-immunological marker PCT in surgical patients with local and systemic bacterial infections and with multiple trauma of well-defined severity. 45 surgical and 26 intensive care patients were enrolled in this collaborative study. We analyzed IL-6 and PCT blood concentrations under the different experimental conditions with Cochran's Q -criterion for testing null hypotheses. For… Show more

“…In addition to pro-inflammatory responses, which are one side of the coin in inducing poor outcomes in inflammatory diseases, anti-inflammatory responses followed by these proinflammatory responses may also be present. In non-severe inflammatory conditions, there is good balance between these two sides, and inducing low levels of inflammation may promote the repairing process and manage tissue injuries (154). Overactivation of the immune system in severe inflammatory situations can cause an imbalanced immune response and may lead to early complications and MOF in patients.…”
