Background. Severe malaria (SM) is associated with high levels of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 1 (IL-1), and interleukin 6 (IL-6). The role of chemokines is less clear, as is their cellular source. Methods. In a case-control study of children with SM (n = 200), uncomplicated malaria (UM) (n = 153) and healthy community controls (HC) (n = 162) in Papua, New Guinea, we measured cytokine/chemokine production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with live Plasmodium falciparum parasitized red blood cells (pRBC). Cellular sources were determined. Associations between immunological endpoints and clinical/parasitological variables were tested. Results. Compared to HC and UM, children with SM produced significantly higher IL-10, IP-10, MIP-1 beta m and MCP-2. TNF and MIP-1 alpha were significantly higher in the SM compared to the UM group. IL-10, IL-6, MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, and MCP-2 were associated with increased odds of SM. SM syndromes were associated with distinct cytokine/chemokine response profiles compared to UM cases. TNF, MIP-1 beta, and MIP-1 alpha were produced predominantly by monocytes and gamma delta T cells, and IL-10 by CD4(+) T cells. Conclusions. Early/innate PBMC responses to pRBC in vitro are informative as to cytokines/chemokines associated with SM. Predominant cellular sources are monocytes and gamma delta T cells. Monocyte-derived chemokines support a role for monocyte infiltrates in the etiology of SM.
