Positive correlations were observed between anti-PvMSP-119 IgG antibodies and IL-10 levels in P. vivax-malaria patients (p = 0,0171; r = 0,7621); anti-PvMSP-119 IgM antibodies and IFN-γ levels in P. falciparum-malaria patients (p = 0,0036; r = 0,7666) and; anti-PvMSP-119 IgE antibodies and TNF in both P. vivax- and P. falciparum-malaria patients (P. vivax: p = 0,0432; r = 0,4081; P. falciparum: p = 0,0455; r = 0,5856). This evidence concerns the gene TNF and malaria.
