Interleukin-12 (IL-12) Analysis in Pneumonia Patients of Rewa Region

The present paper deals the analysis of Interleukin-12 (IL-12) with Pneumonia patients in Rewa region. For this work the blood sample of 240 pneumonic patients and 240 controls have been collected. Compared with control in this study, pneumonic patients found a significant higher amount of interleukin-12. The serum concentration of IL-12 in 240 patients and control were measured and the results are presented. Compared with the control in this study, pneumonic patients are found significantly higher amount of interleukin-12. The average concentration of the Interleukin-12 was 35.20±5.68 pg/ml and 12.15±8.15 pg/ml for patients and control respectively. The statistical analysis of these differences in the average concentration of Interleukin-12 between the two groups were analyzed by t-test and the differences were found statistically significant at the level of P <0.0001, with the t-test value t=73.44 was there with the degree of freedom. The value of median was found 36.45 pg/ml and 10.65 pg/ml respectively for patient and control. Standard error of the mean was found 6 pg/ml and 2 pg/ml for patients and control respectively. In current study, the concentration limit of interleukin-12 is 9.84 – 67.54 pg/ml in patients and 8.10-18.96 pg/ml in healthy controls.
