Serum MIF levels were higher in patients with severe dengue (mean 69,007, SD ± 58,692, median 48,044, range 12,685 to 200,000 pg/ml) when compared to those with non severe dengue (mean 39,783, SD ± 26,139, median 28,932, range 3908 to 102,589 pg/ml) although this was not statistically significant (p = 0.15) (Figure 2B). Here, MIF is linked to dengue disease.
