The concentration of IL-8 in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. a The concentration of IL-8 in serum from individual patients with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE; I—on admission to hospital, n = 36; II—on follow-up 10–14 days later, n = 5), other aseptic meningitis (AM; n = 7), and controls (C; n = 6). The thick horizontal line denotes the detection threshold. b The concentration IL-8 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the same groups as in a, except that only 5 TBE patients were included and the measurement from one AM patient was not available. The short horizontal lines denote the median values, when applicable, the thick horizontal line at the bottom—the detection threshold. Significant differences between the groups are shown by the lines above the plot with *p < 0.05. #Significantly higher concentration in CSF in comparison with a simultaneous concentration in serum (p < 0.05). Note the difference of the scale between a, the lower, and the upper part of b
