Cytokines presented were expressed at similar concentrations in regardless of inhalation injury status or time post burn. No significant differences or significant changes between admission and five to seven days after admission were found for (a) interleukin (IL)-2 (normal IL-2: 0 ± 0 pg/ml), (b) IL-8 (normal IL-8: 8 ± 5 pg/ml), (c) IL-5 (normal IL-5: 0.7 ± 0.14 pg/ml), (d) IL-13 (normal IL-13: 0.9 ± 0.2 pg/ml), and (e) IL-17 (normal IL-17: 0 ± 0 pg/ml). Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. PAD, post-admission day.
