We observed that P. falciparum-inducible IL-10 production was higher after the resolution of febrile malaria relative to the healthy baseline of the same children before the malaria season (P<0.0001; Figure 2A), while P. falciparum-inducible production of the pro-inflammatory chemokine IL-8 was lower after the resolution of febrile malaria relative to baseline (P<0.0001; Figure 2A), in agreement with the microarray data. Here, CXCL8 is linked to malaria.
