Figure 1

Interleukin 6 CSF and serum levels following aneurysmal SAH. CSF and blood serum IL-6 levels from day 0 to day 28 are depicted as box plots. The median is marked by the white notch within the quartiles. Outliers are plotted as individual points. IL-6 CSF levels (a) were distinctly higher than serum levels (b) throughout the study period. There was a significant increase over the first few days and the peak median CSF IL-6 value was observed at day 5 after subarachnoid hemorrhage (§ in 1a; day 5 vs. day 1, P < 0.01). No corresponding peak was seen for serum IL-6 levels (# in 1b; day 5 vs. day 1, P = 0.14).
