Serum cytokine levels in postinfective fatigue syndrome.
To the Editor—[Q1]Previous studies have sought evidence for a role of abnormal cytokine activity in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and have had conflicting results [1–3]. These ambiguous results may reflect heterogeneity in groups of patients considered to have chronic fatigue syndrome and variations in assay systems. We established postinfective fatigue syndrome as the only well-charac...
متن کاملAnalysis of Serum Cytokine Levels in Larynx Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Dysplasia Patients
Background: Although the imbalance of cytokines in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is well known, there is scarce data regarding its occurrence during dysplasia, before the malignant transformation. Objective: To determine whether laryngeal dysplasia patients show a different cytokine profile than patients with cancer and healthy controls. Methods: Seventeen newly diagnosed, untre...
متن کاملOtitis Media with Effusion in Children and the Impact of Risk Factors on Serum Cytokine Levels
Introduction:To evaluate the role of allergic-type and infectious-type cytokines in children with chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) Materials and Methods:We investigated serum levels of interleukins (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13, along with interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 35 children with OME and 28 healthy contr...
متن کاملChanges in Serum Cytokine Levels in Active Tuberculosis With Treatment
It has been reported that IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-12 stimulate, and that IL-10, TGF-beta, and IL-4 suppress the protective immune response against tuberculosis. We aim to evaluate changes in the serum levels of pro and antiinflammatory cytokines in active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB) and the possible effects of treatment on these changes. Serum IL-12p40, IL-4, IL-10, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma,...
متن کاملIncreased Th1 and suppressed Th2 serum cytokine levels in subjects with diabetic coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND The role played by T helper cytokines under chronic, low grade inflammation as seen in type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) co-morbidity is less well studied. In the present study, we measured the serum levels of both Th1 and Th2 cytokines and correlated it with clinical risk factors for T2DM (Insulin Resistance (IR), Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)) and CAD...
