title: Recombinant interleukin-1 promotes leishmaniasis in susceptible mice.
abstract: Interleukin-1 exacerbates leishmanial lesions in Leishmania major-infected BALB/c mice. Indomethacin can modulate the effect of IL-1, so at least part of the IL-1 effect on disease progression is due to the induction of prostaglandin synthesis.
