A comparison of CXCL9 levels detected in the sera from AIR patients and normal individuals is shown in Table 2 . The third patient also had severe disease that was associated with a high level of IL-6 (1 out of 2 samples) but normal levels of CXCL9. Although the presence of CXCL9 and IL-6 was not always detected in the same serum sample, patients with severe disease more frequently had elevated CXCL9, IL-6 or both cytokines in their sera. Clearly, the presence of IL-6 and CXCL9 in AIR patients is not specific to this disease since these molecules can be identified in systemic inflammatory and autoimmune processes. ./cache/cord-277147-k11rl70f.txt ./txt/cord-277147-k11rl70f.txt
