Interleukin-6, also known as IL-6, is a versatile pleiotropy cytokine. IL-6 plays an important role in the body's anti-infection immune response When bacterial infection leads to inflammation, the increase of IL-6 is earlier than that of other cytokines, CRP and PCT, and the increase is positively correlated with the severity of infection. Therefore,IL-6 can be used to assist in the early warning and diagnosis of acute bacterial infection and sepsis
