From: Occurrence of marked sepsis-induced immunosuppression in pediatric septic shock: a pilot study

	Healthy controls	Children with septic shock
	Healthy controls	Day 1–2	Day 3–5	Day 7–9
IL-6	0.0 [0.0–0.36]	178.5 [25.77–3311]	18.13 [12.92–172.5]	17.97 [3.30–33.08]
IL-8	2.05 [0.43–5.06]	51.72 [19.07–145.7]	21.45 [11.42–56.36]	15.00 [7.98–37.98]
IL-10	0.36 [0.0–4.44]	43.37 [17.11–331.6]	8.26 [3.44–21.66]	11.83 [1.70–23.73]
IL1-RA	0.0 [0.0–17.16]	136.9 [23.72–647.8]	48.02 [0.0–153.2]	56.54 [0.0–121.3]
TNF-α	4.91 [3.35–7.11]	25.13 [14.52–40.47]	8.37 [5.34–14.62]	10.15 [4.10–15.43]
INF-γ	4.98 [1.82–6.45]	15.81 [6.55–24.22]	8.07 [2.78–11.45]	10.92 [4.65–23.70]

Values (pg/ml) are expressed as median [IQR]. All cytokine values in children with septic shock at all-time points were different from those of healthy controls
