In comparing the ROC for the various molecules, we identified four (4) cytokines (IL-1β, IL-7, IL-12 IL-1RA) and three (3) chemokines (RANTES/CCL5, MIP1β/CCL4, IP10/CXCL10) that were statistically significant and could at the same time differentiate between children with sepsis and clinical malaria and children with sepsis from other febrile controls (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene CCL5 and malaria.
