- W2046919574 abstract "To delineate the clinical roles of plasma cytokine or endotoxin levels in the natural course of infection in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, 66 cirrhotic patients were studied within a 1.5-year period. Plasma levels of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8 and endotoxin were determined on days 1, 4 and 7 after admission when hospital infection was suspected and 4 months later. A total of 24 patients (36.4%) were proven to be infected during hospitalization (group A), while 42 others were not infected (group B). Fever occurred in a very high proportion (22/24) of group A patients. Baseline levels of TNF-α (37.7±15.2 compared with 8.7±1.2 pg/ml; P < 0.01) and IL-6 (180.5±20.5 compared with 24.6±7.5 pg/ml; P < 0.0001) were higher in group A patients, while IL-1β, IL-8 and endotoxin levels were not significantly different between the two groups. For patients with hospital infection, IL-6 levels determined during the episode were significantly higher than baseline levels. Using IL-6 > 80 pg/ml as a baseline cut-off level to diagnose bacterial infection, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 87.5, 100 and 95.5% respectively. The one-year cumulative probability of mortality (61.1% compared with 23.7%; P < 0.001) and of bacterial re-infection (72.2% compared with 18.4%; P < 0.0001) was higher in group A than in group B. Plasma TNF-α and IL-6 levels determined at 4 months were not different between the two groups. In conclusion, fever or elevated plasma IL-6 levels in patients with decompensated cirrhosis calls for early antibiotic treatment to prevent life-threatening bacterial infection. Bacterial infection is likely to recur in those patients with increased IL-6 levels, while severe episodes of infection occur in patients with increased TNF-α levels." @default.
