TNFα and IL-6 production from the supernatants of monocytes. Concentrations of TNFα and IL-6 of supernatants of monocytes of patients with sepsis due to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and patients with sepsis caused by other nosocomial infections. The asterisk denotes significant difference between the two groups of patients. (P = 0.008 for TNFα; P = 0.003 for IL-6). LPS = lipopolysaccharide; SE = standard error.
