title: [Interleukin-6 in hematological diseases with septic shock].
abstract: The authors measured the level of interleukin-6 (IL-6), endotoxin and CRP from 7 patients of documented sepsis with hematological disorders. IL-6 was higher in patients who developed septic shock, compared with patients who had only sepsis. These data revealed the importance in the level of IL-6, rather than endotoxin and CRP, in managing the patients with septic shock.
