Altered Ex-Vivo Cytokine Responses in Children With Asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum Infection in Burkina Faso: An Additional Argument to Treat Asymptomatic Malaria?

Altered Ex-Vivo Cytokine Responses in Children With Asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum Infection in Burkina Faso: An Additional Argument to Treat Asymptomatic Malaria?

IntroductionPatients with clinical malaria have an increased risk for bacterial bloodstream infections. We hypothesized that asymptomatic malaria parasitemia increases susceptibility for bacterial infections through an effect on the innate immune system. We measured circulating cytokine levels and e...
