Circulating levels of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors in children with PIMS-TS requiring PICU care vs no PICU care.

The plasma levels of IFNγ, IL-2, TNFα, IL-1α, IFNβ, IL-6, IL-17A, IL-10, CXCL10 and VEGF were measured in children with PIM-TS requiring PICU care (n = 23) and children in ward [who did not require PICU care] (n = 21). The data are represented as scatter plots with each circle representing a single individual. P values were calculated using the Mann-Whitney test with Holm's correction for multiple comparisons.
