In this CAP cohort, admission levels of IL-6, IL-8 and MIP-1β were associated with disease severity and/or adverse short-term outcome. Still, for most mediators, only nonsignificant variations in inflammatory responses were observed for groups of microbial aetiology, disease severity and short-term outcome.
