Serum cytokine concentrations in neonates at risk of early-onset neonatal sepsis. Levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-12/IL23p40 were measured in serum samples simultaneously obtained from infants with culture-proven sepsis (cases; n = 8) and infants who did not present with any clinical or laboratory signs of infection (controls; n = 42) but were selected from a prospective cohort of neonates at-risk for early-onset neonatal sepsis. Bars denote medians and interquartile ranges.
