We have talked about how cytokines and how helpful they are to the immune system. Is there any kind of infection, diseases, or any other medically classified problem where cytokines don't appear from cells?

If cells are under what is called oxidative stress, cytokines might be released.  But, not all diseases cause oxidative stress, so cytokines might not be released under these conditions.
