From: Slow resolution of inflammation in severe adult dengue patients
Dynamic changes of pro-inflammatory cytokines were compared in dengue patients. TNF-α (a), IL-1α (b) and IFN-γ (c) were significantly elevated in dengue patients. Then they decreased as patients were recovery. Moreover, higher level of TNF-α on day 6-7 and higher levels of IL-1α and IFN-γ on day 8-10 of illness were observed in severe dengue patients than mild ones. However, IFN-α (d), IL-6 (e) and MIF (f) did not display significant abnormality at each time point. In addition, no differences of IFN-α, IL-6 and MIF were observed on day 6-7 and on day 8-10 of illness between mild and severe dengue patients
