To determine the effect of vitamin C administration on reducing interleukin-6 (IL-6) in male rats of wistar strains infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. This study used an experimental research design with a Post Test Only Control Group Design research design. The subjects of the study amounted to 30 wistar rats which were randomly divided into 5 groups. K(-) group of rats without P. aeruginosa infection. K(+) group of rats infected with P. aeruginosa 108 CFU per head without vitamin C. P1, P2 and P3 in P. aeruginosa infection and given vitamin C at doses of 9 mg, 18 mg and 36 mg/mL/day for 7 days. Day 8 examination of IL-6 levels using the ELISA method. The results of IL-6 levels the One Way Anova test showed significant differences between groups (p = 0.028). The decrease in IL-6 levels in the K3 group infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria and vitamin C at a dose of 9 mg/ml/ day experienced insignificant differences with the control group (K1), the K4 group given vitamin C at a dose of 18 mg/ml/day and the K5 group given vitamin C at a dose of 36 mg/ml/day.
