Cytokines were evaluated in cerebral toxoplasmosis/HIV infected patients in treatment.
IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-10 levels were determined in PBMC samples of patients.
They had low IFN-γ with discrete increase during treatment.
They had high TNF-α in the beginning; and decrease during treatment.
Evolution of the infection was correlated to IFN-γ restoration and inflammation decrease.
