Cytokine measurements add value to clinical variables in predicting outcomes for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia

Abstract Background We demonstrated that an early dysregulated cytokine response [high interleukin-10 to tissue necrosis factor (IL-10/TNF) ratio] predicted poor outcomes in patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB). However, high interpatient variability in cytokine levels were observed....
