IL10 and coinfection: Spontaneous cytokine production was similar among household contacts with and without co-infections except for those with malaria who had raised IL-17f (geometric mean 32.53 vs 14.12 pg/ml, respectively, p = 0.006) and IL-21 (geometric mean 50.66 vs 22.50 pg/ml, respectively, p = 0.03) and those with HIV who had depressed concentrations of IL-10 (geometric mean 2.03 vs 4.81 pg/ml, respectively, p = 0.01).
