The dependence of IL-1β serum concentration on the clinical severity. Concentration of IL-1β in serum on admission in TBE patients, stratified dependent on clinical severity of the presentation (a) and consciousness level (b). a Patients with uncomplicated meningitis in white (n = 13) and with neurologic involvement of severity increasing from mild (n = 8) through moderate (n = 10) to severe (n = 5) (as defined in the “Methods” section) in the darkening gray shades. b Patients with normal mental status (n = 21) in white, with deep disorientation or loss of consciousness (n = 5) in gray. Shown are median (square), quartiles (box), and minimum/maximum values (whiskers). The trend towards lower concentrations in more severely ill patients did not reach a level of statistical significance
