Elevation of serum interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) levels, and to a lesser degree tumor necrosis factor alpha levels, was found in cachectic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected African patients without concurrent opportunistic infection or neoplasia (HIV wasting syndrome). A heterogeneous pattern of elevations of cytokine levels, including mild elevations of IL-1 beta and pronounced elevations of IL- 6 levels, was found in other cachectic states.
