Cytokine serum concentrations at patient presentation with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia stratified by in-hospital mortality or survival. Median and interquartile ranges for death and survival were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. All data points are presented in the panels for patient death, while only those outside of the interquartile range are presented for survival. A, Interleukin 10 (IL-10). B, Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). C, Interleukin 1β (IL-1β). D, Ratio of IL-10 to TNF-α. E, Ratio of IL-10 to IL-1β.
