A difference with borderline significance was observed in the serum TNF-α levels in the patients and the controls (F-ratio = 3.84, df = 1, p = 0.051); a higher levels of the cytokine was observed in the patients sera [log sTNF-α ± standard deviation (s.d.) = 1.89 ± 0.87] when compared with the control population [log sTNF-α ± s.d. = 1.65 ± 0.89].
