Participants with high parasitemia had raised TNF‐α (p < .001), IFN‐ɣ (p < .001), IL‐1β (p < .001), IL‐6 (p < .001), GM‐CSF (p < .001), and IL‐10 (p < .001), but reduced IL‐3 (p < .001) and TGF‐β (p < .001) than those with low parasitemia. The gene discussed is CSF2; the disease is parasitic infectious disease.
