Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) Responses to Immunization in Premature Babies † 1007

Interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, and abnormal cardiorespiratory responses to immunization in premature infants.

OBJECTIVE We report our experience with routine immunization of 89 premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit because 1) a substantial number of them developed abnormal clinical signs, and 2) all but one of those who received diphtheria, tetanus, and whole-cell pertussis (DTwP) vaccine responded with elevations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations that ...

C-reactive protein: CRP IL-6 homocysteine.

The effects of 12-wk combined aerobic/resistance training on C-reactive protein (CRP) serum and interleukin-6 (IL-6) plasma in sedentary men

Background : The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of combined training program on C-reactive protein (CRP) serum and interleukin-6 (IL-6) plasma concentrations in sedentary men. Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, twenty sedentary men (23±2 years) volunteers (with no history of regular exercise program, weight deviation more than 2 kg, special disease and...

Immediate Diagnosis of Early Onset Sepsis in Premature Newborns by Measurement of Cord C-Reactive Protein and Interleukin-6

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between early onset sepsis and increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cord plasma. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 141 premature infants delivered with gestational ages of 26-35 weeks. IL-6 and CPR were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay in the cord plasma of the neonates. ...

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration prior to total nephrectomy are prognostic factors in localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

BACKGROUND Radical nephrectomy is the gold standard for treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but even for localized disease the survival rates are still unsatisfactory. Identification of prognostic factorsl is the basis for future treatment strategies for an individual patient. AIM The aim of our study was to assess the usefulness of the concentration of IL-6 and CRP as prognostic factors...
