Table 2 shows that seizure occurrence, lower Blantyre score, higher parasitaemia and higher plasma IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and CXCL-10 are risk factors of death in this study (P < 0.0001, P = 0.008, P = 0.002, P = 0.0008, P = 0.001, P = 0.008, P = 0.002 respectively). This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and Seizure.
