Serum Interleukin 6 Levels Are Elevated in Lymphoma Patients
Several cytokines including y-interferon, tumor necrosis factor a, interleukin Iß(IL-lß), and interleukin 6 ill,-61 are pyrogenic and can inhibit lipogenic processes. Because patients with lymphoma often suffer from fever, weight loss, and night sweats (B symptoms), the etiology of which is unknown, the authors investigated serum levels of these cytokines in normal volunteers and in patients ...
متن کاملElevated Levels of Interleukin-23 in Sera of Patients with Pemphigus Vulgaris
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris, a chronic mucocutaneous disease, is the most prevalent type of pemphigus which manifests with development of bullae and erosions on skin and mucosal membranes. Objectives: To investigate the potential role of IL-23 in pemphigus vulgaris. Methods: In this study, 30 patients with pemphigus vulgaris and 30 healthy individuals were selected according to inclusion and...
متن کاملSerum Interleukin-23 Levels in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis
Background: Patients with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of inflammation. Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a newly identified cytokine with increased expression in inflamed biopsies of colon mucosa in patients with Crohn's disease; however, there is inconsistent evidence on its role in ulcerative colitis. Objective: We aimed to compare serum IL-23 level in patients with ulcerative colitis an...
متن کاملIntraocular levels of interleukin 17A (IL-17A) and IL-10 as respective determinant markers of toxoplasmosis and viral uveitis.
Uveitis is a potentially blinding inflammatory disease. Thirty to 50% of uveitis cases are considered idiopathic. The present study sought to determine the intraocular cytokine patterns in the different etiological types of uveitis in order to better understand their immunological regulation and to determine whether the cytokine pattern may be a useful diagnostic tool. From a multicenter instit...
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...
