Unravelling the patterns of host immune responses in Plasmodium vivax malaria and dengue co-infection

摘要

BackgroundConcurrent malaria and dengue infection is frequently diagnosed in endemic countries, but its immunopathology remains largely unknown. In the present study, a large panel of cytokines/chemokines and clinical laboratory markers were measured in patients with Plasmodium vivax and dengue co-infection as well as in individuals with malaria or dengue mono-infections in order to identify biosignatures of each clinical condition.
