IL-8 (a), IL-10 (b) and IL-18 (c) levels in non-asthmatic patients with severe <i>M</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> pneumonia (group 1) and mild <i>M</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> pneumonia (group 2), and in asthmatic patients with <i>M</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> pneumonia (group 3).

<p>Serum IL-10 and IL-18 levels were significantly higher in patients infected by <i>M</i>. <i>pneumoniae</i> without asthma than those in group 3. However, IL-8 levels were not significantly different. Serum IL-10 levels were significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2, while IL-18 levels were significantly higher in group 1; IL-8 levels were not significantly different.</p

Serum levels of IL-8 (a), IL-10 (b), and IL-18 (c) relationship with CRP.

<p>Significant relationships were found between IL-8 levels and CRP levels, as well as between IL-18 levels and CRP levels, although no significant relationship was found between IL-10 and CRP levels.</p
