Some studies reported that IFNγ, TNF, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL12p70, and/or CXCL10 were elevated in children with cerebral malaria compared to those with uncomplicated malaria (134–136), while others reported no difference in cytokine levels between the groups (137). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL8 and cerebral malaria.
