Abstract
Antecedents: The serum levels of some cytokines can be useful in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis; the prognostic value of a cytokine profile has not, to our knowledge, been explored in this disease. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of the serum levels of cytokines IL-1, -2, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -10, -12, -13, and -17, TNF, IFNγ, G-CSF, GM-CSF, MCP1, and MIP1β in neonates with high risk of developing sepsis. Methods: Sepsis was evaluated in 96 high-risk neonates. We assessed cytokine levels on hospital admission and during or not during sepsis. Results: Fifty (52%) presented sepsis (26 early and 24 late). Sepsis was associated with high levels of IL-6, IL-10, G-CSF, and MCP1 and low levels of IFNγ, early sepsis with high levels of IL-6 and G-CSF, severe sepsis with high levels of IL-6 and IL-10, while deaths or sequelae was associated with low levels of IL-4, IL-12, IFNγ, and high levels of GM-CSF. IL-6 values of ≥40.1 pg/mL were associated with the development of any type of sepsis (relative risk [RR]: 1.70; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.18-2.24; p = .01), while IL-6 values of ≥44.9 pg/mL were associated with early sepsis (RR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.29-4.56; p = .01). Conclusion: In neonates with high risk for the development of sepsis, there is an association between levels of IL-6, IL-10, and G-SCF and the disease development/outcome.
