  Background: During Plasmodium falciparum infection, cytokines are said to be elevated in the peripheral blood and may contribute to parasite clearance and also, likely to be responsible for many of the symptoms and pathological changes observed during malaria disease. Aim: this study evaluated specific cytokines as possible tool for diagnosis and prognosis of uncomplicated malaria in adult patients. Methods: Prospective 147 apparently malaria adult patients were microscopically screened and parasite load quantified. Blood donors (n=30) were used as control group A (CA) and parasite negative patients (n=26) as control group B (CB). The study took place between Aug. and Dec. 2014. The Cytokines (IL 12 and IL 18) levels were measured using ELIZA method. The data generated were analyzed us.. View more»
