Correlation of serum levels of cytokines with age of disease onset in patients with epilepsy. (a-d) Correlation of serum levels of IL-1β (a), IL-6 (b), IFN-γ (c) and IL-10 (d) with age of disease onset in patients with epilepsy (N = 115). (a) Serum levels of IL-1β showed a significant negative correlation with age of disease onset in children with epilepsy (p = 0.0110, r = − 0.2545). (b) Serum levels of IL-6 showed a significant negative correlation with age of disease onset in children with epilepsy (p = 0.0066, r = − 0.2714). (c) Serum levels of IFN-γ showed a significant negative correlation with age of disease onset in children with epilepsy (p < 0.0001, r = − 0.4197). (d) Serum levels of IL-10 showed a significant negative correlation with age of disease onset in children with epilepsy (p = 0.0041, r = − 0.2864). IL, interleukin; IFN, interferon
