The levels of IL-10 were 77.5, 55.9, 18.3 and 1.9 before treatment, after subsiding of fever, at the time of discharging the patient, and two months after treatment respectively. As for INF-␥ the levels were 37.6, 5.9, 0.18, 0.005 and for IL-12 the levels were 798.3, 865.2, 841.2 and 479 respectively. Conclusion:We concluded that normalization of the plasma levels of INF-␥ and IL-10 can serve as a reliable parameter in considering the patients as ''cured'' and determining the duration of the treatment.
