Tumor Necrosis Factor‐α, Interleukin‐6, and Interleukin‐8 Secretion and the Acute‐Phase Response in Patients with Bacterial and Tuberculous Osteomyelitis

Abstract: Osteomyelitis, or bone infection, is a major worldwide cause of morbidity. Treatment is frequently unsatisfactory, yet little is known about pathogenesis of infection. Plasma tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8 concentrations were measured before and after lipopolysaccharide stimulation of whole blood from patients with bacterial and tuberculous osteomyelitis and from controls. Patients with bacterial and tuberculous osteomyelitis mounted an acute-phase response and were anemic and febril… Show more
