Abstract
The variation of levels of tumor necrosis factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, gamma interferon, neopterin, and interleukin-2 receptors in plasma were monitored in 16 patients presenting with an acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria attack. Relations among cytokine levels and between cytokine levels and hematological and parasitological data were assessed.
