IL, interleukin; IFN, interferon; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; CRP, C-reactive protein; SD, standard deviation.
aStatistical analysis was performed using a Kruskal-Wallis test for analysis of variance among D0, D3,D7and D60 and only CRP revealed statistical significance. Units for cytokines are as follows: CRP, mg/L; others, pg/mL.
