title: [Role of cytokines in the clinical course of tropical malaria in children].
abstract: The paper gives data on impaired cytokine status in children with tropical malaria. There have been heterodirectional changes in the level ofcytokines during the infectious process and in relation to the severity of the pathological process, which allow prediction of the course of tropical malaria. Correlations were found between the clinical and laboratory parameters and the level of proinflammatory cytokines, which provide evidence for an important role of inflammatory mediators in the clinical course of the disease. The findings suggest that it is expedient to correct immune disorders in the early stages of tropical malaria.
