The role of IL-18 and IL-33 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of children with severe community-acquired pneumonia complicated with pleural effusion
IL-18, IL-33, and IL-38 in BALF may serve as effective markers for predicting the development of PE in pediatric SCAP patients. Additionally, respiratory tract colonization by Hi may diminish the production of specific proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-18, IL-33, and IL-36<i>α</i>, during SCAP.
