The Regulation of Plasma Interleukin-6 Levels Is Modified by Hippocampal Sclerosis and Its Lateralization in Drug-Resistant Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Table 3

Frequency and proportion of patients with increased IL-6 levels.

IL-6 levels (cut-off 5 pg/mL)	TLE+HS	TLE-HS	XLE	IGE	value
Increased	0	14 (13.6%)	7 (7.6%)	1 (2.8%)	0.039
Not increased	34 (100%)	89 (86.4%)	85 (92.4%)	35 (97.2%)

Abbreviations: TLE+HS: temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis; TLE-HS: temporal lobe epilepsy without hippocampal sclerosis; XLE: extratemporal lobe epilepsy; IGE: idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
