Abstract

We determined the serum cytokine profiles during distinct hepatitis A virus-induced clinical courses in children. A significant overexpression of interleukin-1, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and monocyte chemotactic protein-2 was found in children with intermediate liver injury, whereas the patients with minor liver injury had a significant increase of interleukin-8 and transforming growth factor-beta values.
