Abstract:
43 patients with the malignant malaria, 56 patients with the common malaria and 30 healthy people without history of the malaria were clinically examined and received the immunological tests during 3 stages including coma, conscious and recovering. The concentration of TNF alpha in patients with the malignant malaria was increased highly in the stage of coma, then reduced gradually in the stage of the conscious and reduced to the normal level during the stages of recovering comparing with this in healthy people
