“…It has been suggested that in malaria-helminth coinfection, helminth infection stimulates the Th2 cytokine response which possibly predominates, and down-modulates Th1 cytokines. 20 Inhibition of the Th1 response prevents protective effects of IFN-γ during the blood and liver stages of malaria infection. 20 This could explain the worsening of anemia in malaria-helminth coinfection.…”

“…20 Inhibition of the Th1 response prevents protective effects of IFN-γ during the blood and liver stages of malaria infection. 20 This could explain the worsening of anemia in malaria-helminth coinfection. 21 Helminth infection thus creates a cytokine milieu favorable to the production of non-cytophilic antibodies, thus making individuals more susceptible to clinical malaria.…”

“…Numerous studies have revealed the importance of the cytokine balance in immune protection against malaria. A Th1/pro-inflammatory cytokine (IFN-γ, IL-12 and TNF-α) response during the early stage of infection mediates protective immunity and the resolution of parasite infection (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). The initial pro-inflammatory response may switch to a predominant anti-inflammatory response that is mediated by immunoregulatory cytokines, such as TGF-β and IL-10 which down-regulate proinflammatory cytokine production to avoid malaria-associated pathology (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

“…As citocinas inflamatórias exercem um papel importante na infecção, já que podem tanto amenizar quanto agravar a doença (Mitchell et al 2005 (Ângulo et al 2002;Mitchell et al 2005;Torre, Speranza & Martegani 2002).…”

“…Estas mesmas células podem produzir também o FNT-, que conjuntamente com o IFN-, contribuirá no processo de contenção da infecção pelo plasmódio (Torre, Speranza & Martegani 2002). Já na malária grave ocorre uma produção exagerada e persistente do FNT- e uma redução da IL-10 e TGF-β, sendo que a produção deste último está associada com redução da febre (Dodoo et al 2002).…”
