From: Inhalation injury in severely burned children does not augment the systemic inflammatory response
Two cytokines were significantly different between patients with no inhalation injury and those with an inhalation injury, namely interleukin (IL)-7 and IL-12p70. (a) IL-7 was significantly increased in the group with no inhalation injury compared to the inhalation injury group. Normal IL-7: 3.8 ± 0.63 pg/ml. (b) IL-12p70 was significantly decreased in the group with no inhalation injury compared to the inhalation injury group. Normal IL-12 p70: 0 ± 0 pg/ml. *Significant difference between inhalation injury group and group with no inhalation injury (p < 0.05). Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean.
