In dengue patients the nine plasma cytokine levels were significantly elevated when compared to healthy controls: GM-CSF, IFN-γ, IL-10, 1L-15, IL-8, MCP-1, IL-6, MIP1β, and TNFα (p = 0.008, 0.0001, 0.0001, 0.0003, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.0003, 0.001 and 0.006 respectively) levels (Figure 1). The gene discussed is CSF2; the disease is dengue disease.
