Interleukin-18 levels in adult dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever

Abstract: Abstrak Interleukin (IL)-18 (interferon- Abstract Interleukin (IL)-18 ( interferon- inducing factor) is one of cytokines, produced by macrophage, take part in differentiation T-helper (Th) to Th1 and interferon  producing. T-helper1 play role in cellular immunity especially in viral infection include dengue. A descriptivecorrelative study has done to know the correlation between IL-18 levels and disease severity in admitted dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) patients. In 42 subjects consis… Show more

“…Upon NLRP3 activation and assembly, the proIL-18 will be further processed by intracellular cysteine protease caspase-1 and released as a fully functional matured IL-18. The elevation of IL-18 among DWS+ and SD patients in this cohort suggest that aberrant activation of the inflammasome may play a role in dengue immunopathogenesis, consistent with previous reports [7, 17, 34, 35]. IL-18 secreted by monocytes/macrophages will then induce activation and expression of both CC and CXC chemokines from a wide range of cells [36] enhancing natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity, neutrophil activity, and IFN-γ production by T cells and NK cells [36].…”

“…A total of 230 plasma specimens (febrile, n = 126; defervescence, n = 104) were included in this study, of which specimens for 89 (36.1%) patients were paired. Age of patients ranged from 14 to 61 years old with median, interquartile range (IQR) of 25 [ 21 , 34 ] years old. 68.8% were male.…”
