Purpose: Based on the concept of the individualized nature of sepsis, we investigated the significance of the -251 A/T (rs4073) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of IL-8 in relation to the underlying infection. Methods: Genotyping was performed in 479 patients with severe acute pyelonephritis (UTI, n= 146), community-acquired pneumonia (CAP, n= 109), intrabdominal infections (IAI, n= 119) and primary bacteremia (BSI, n= 105) by restriction fragment length polymorphism of the PCR product and compared with 104 healthy volunteers. Circulating IL-8 was measured within the first 24 hours of diagnosis by an immunosorbent assay. Results: Carriage of the AA genotype was protective from the development of UTI (odds ratio 0.38, p: 0.007) and CAP (...
