Elevated Serum Levels of IL-21 in Kawasaki Disease
PURPOSE The serum level of immunoglobulin (Ig)E has been reported to be elevated in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD). We investigated whether interleukin (IL)-21, rather than IL-4, could be related to elevated serum levels of IgE in KD. METHODS Sera from 48 patients with KD and 12 controls with high fever were collected to determine the level of IgE using an immunoassay system and the leve...
متن کاملElevated Serum Levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is accompanied by abdominal pain and intestinal discomforts. A line of evidence shows that the immune system plays important roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. Two main cytokines directing the immune system are IL-6 and TNF-α which may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of this disease. The present study aimed at investigating the serum lev...
متن کاملRaised serum interleukin 15 levels in Kawasaki disease.
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)15 is a novel cytokine that induces T cell proliferation, B cell maturation, natural killer cell cytotoxicity, and may have a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease, acting upstream from tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory disease, in which serum levels of inflammatory cytokines such as TNFalpha and IL6 a...
متن کاملElevated serum IL-8 levels are associated with disease activity in idiopathic intermediate uveitis.
AIM To find a laboratory indicator for systemic involvement in intermediate uveitis. METHODS Interleukin 8 (IL-8) and C reactive protein (CRP) serum levels were measured in patients with idiopathic intermediate uveitis (n = 61), uveitis controls (n = 143), and normal controls (n = 29). The records of those with intermediate uveitis were reviewed with the emphasis on disease activity and sever...
متن کاملDetection of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-12 Serum Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis
Background: Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Environmental and genetic factors as well as the immune system participate in this process. Recent studies have attempted to elucidate the role of cytokine networks involved in periodontal diseases. Objective: To assess and compare the levels of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-...
