Summary

We assessed whether cytokine production–interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα)–is affected in depressed patients, dysthymia (Dt) and major depression (MD), and its association with various parameters of severity and clinical course. We found a possible different pattern of interleukin production between Dt and MD.
