Elevated circulating levels of Type 1, Type 17 and other pro-inflammatory cytokines in children with PIMS-TS and COVID-19

(a) The plasma levels of IFNγ, IL-2, TNFα, IL-1α, IL-1β, IFNα, and IFN β, (b) IL-6, IL-12, IL-15, IL-17A, IL-3, IL-7, G-CSF and GM-CSF, (c) IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-10, IL-25, IL-33 and IL-1Rα were measured in PIMS-TS (n = 44), COVID-19 (n = 33), seropositive (n = 47) and control children (n = 21). The data are represented as scatter plots with each circle representing a single individual. P values were calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's post-hoc for multiple comparisons.
