متن کاملInterleukin-10 Regulates Hepcidin in Plasmodium falciparum Malaria
BACKGROUND Acute malarial anemia remains a major public health problem. Hepcidin, the major hormone controlling the availability of iron, is raised during acute and asymptomatic parasitemia. Understanding the role and mechanism of raised hepcidin and so reduced iron availability during infection is critical to establish evidence-based guidelines for management of malaria anemia. Our recent clin...
متن کاملLow interleukin-12 activity in severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
We compared interleukin-12 (IL-12) and other cytokine activities during and after an acute clinical episode in a matched-pair case-control study of young African children who presented with either mild or severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The acute-phase, pretreatment plasma IL-12 and alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) levels, as well as the acute-phase mitogen-stimulated whole-blood production c...
متن کاملThrombocytopenia in plasmodium falciparum malaria.
BACKGROUND Malaria is usually associated with reduced blood cell counts & mild to moderate thrombocytopenia is a common association of malaria. The cause of thrombocytopenia is poorly understood, but the immune-mediated lysis, sequestration in the spleen and dyspoietic processes in the marrow with diminished platelet production have all been postulated. This study was conducted to evaluate thro...
متن کاملPlasma levels of interleukin-18 and interleukin-12 in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
Interleukin (IL)-18 produced primarily by mononuclear phagocytes synergizes with IL-12 for interferon-gamma production from T, B and natural killer cells. It has been also demonstrated that, in Plasmodium falciparum malaria, IL-18 could have an immunoregulatory function. The aim of this study was to detect the plasma levels of IL-12 and IL-18, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in 105 ...
