[Neuromalaria and cytokines].
Levels of TNF alpha, IL-6-, soluble R IL-2, and fibronectin, were evaluated in fifteen patients with cerebral malaria. Relations between cytokines levels and parasitemia were assessed. Concentration of IL-6, and soluble R IL-2, correlated with parasitic density on admission. It was appeared, that IL-6, would be a prognostic factor, as interesting as TNF alpha.
