Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytokine levels. The horizontal bar indicates the mean value of each group. (a) Levels of CSF IL-6 in patients with HHV-6 encephalopathy, HHV-6 febrile seizures (FS), and controls are 74.6 ± 116.9 pg/mL, 5.8 ± 5.3 pg/mL, and 3.2 ± 3.0 pg/mL, respectively. The CSF IL-6 levels in patients with HHV-6 encephalopathy are significantly higher than in controls (**P < 0.01). (b) Levels of CSF IL-10 in patients with HHV-6 encephalopathy, HHV-6 febrile seizures (FS), and controls are 1.4 ± 2.1 pg/mL, 0.6 ± 0.8 pg/mL, and 0.4 ± 0.3 pg/mL, respectively. (c) Levels of CSF TNF-α in patients with HHV-6 encephalopathy, HHV-6 febrile seizures (FS), and controls are 3.4 ± 4.0 pg/mL, 0.3 ± 0.5 pg/mL, and 0.1 ± 0.1 pg/mL, respectively. The CSF TNF-α levels in patients with HHV-6 encephalopathy are significantly higher than those with complex FS and in controls (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01, resp.).
