[Pro-inflammatory cytokines related to severity and mortality in type 2 diabetes patients with soft tissue infection].

Objective: to determine the relation between IL6, IL10 and TNFa serum levels in a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and severe soft tissue infections (STI), with severity and mortality factors.

Methods: A. comparative and transversal, study with 15 adult patients, any gender, with T2D and STI were done.

Tumor necrosis factor -308 and lymphotoxin +252 polymorphisms in Mexican children with Kawasaki disease and coronary aneurysms.

Background And Aims: The Mexican population has a distinct capacity for the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a cytokine that plays a cardinal role in Kawasaki disease (KD), particularly in those who develop coronary aneurysms. It is important to identify, in Mexican pediatric patients, the association of the frequency of TNF. This study determined the association of TNF -308 and lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) +252 polymorphisms in Mexican pediatric patients with KD and coronary aneurysms (CA).
