dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the present study was to measure serum concentrations of stem cell factor (SCF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3) in patients with acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Serum samples from 15 patients were taken on day of admission and days 7, 14, 21, and 28. Anemia developed in 80% of patients. A transient increase in IL-3 could be observed at the beginning of the disease. It remains controversial whether the measured concentrations of IL-3 and SCF correlate with the grade of anemia. The possibly suppressed IL-3 and SCF production may contribute to the prolonged anemia in P. falciparum malaria, as has been shown for erythropoietin. | en_US |
