C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma levels, interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), IL-15 serum concentrations, CRP\/IL10- and IFN-\u03b3\/IL-10 ratios correlated positively with bacterial load in blood, implying activation of the innate immune response and preferential development of a T helper-type 1 immune response.
