Abstract excerpt
Based on the concept of the individualized nature of sepsis, we investigated the significance of the -251 A/T (rs4073) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of interleukin (IL)-8 in relation to the underlying infection. Genotyping was performed in 479 patients with severe acute pyelonephritis (UTI, n = 146), community-acquired pneumonia (CAP, n = 109), intra-abdominal infections (IAI, n = 119), and primary...
