Cortisol and IL-6 Responses to Stress in Female Children Presenting at a Sexual Abuse Clinic

Abstract: Since adults with histories of sexual abuse as children experience both dysregulation of cortisol and increased inflammatory markers, we hypothesized that plasma cortisol dysregulation and increased plasma IL-6 would be detectable at the first presentation of pre-pubertal girls to a sexual abuse clinic. Following the stressful forensic examination, the 11 patients recruited to the study had significantly different cortisol concentrations (p<0.0075), depending on whether they resided with family (309±101 nmol/l… Show more

“…The authors found an inverse correlation between cortisol and IL-6: the residents of the children's shelter displayed plasma cortisol concentrations inferior to 200 nmlo/L in spite of the enhance of the IL-6 levels. Inversely, no correlation was observed among the girls residing at their own home ( 48 ).…”

“…The articles presented in this review evaluated sexual abuse as an independent variable alone or a subtype of childhood maltreatment (CM), in this case the authors investigated other types of abuse besides CSA, making correlations between the inflammatory markers and each type of abuse, including CSA. Only two studies evaluated exclusively CSA ( 37 , 48 ), other two data investigated physical and sexual abuse ( 38 , 51 ), the remain 13 studies evaluated all subtypes of maltreatment and the correlation of each subtype, and CM global scores, to immune system alterations ( 39 47 , 49 , 50 , 52 , 53 ).…”
