The role of interleukin-6 in vitamin A deficiency during Plasmodium falciparum malaria and possible consequences for vitamin A supplementation.

Kinetics of serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) were studied in patients with acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria in relation to vitamin A and its binding proteins, retinol binding protein (RBP) and pre-albumin. It was found that IL-6 levels followed the rise and decrease of parasitaemia by 12 hr and correlated inversely with levels of vitamin A and its binding proteins. These data suggest that vitamin A supplementation alone might still be insufficient to restore a malaria-induced vitamin A deficiency.

[Q fever in Guinea-Bissau. 1 case].

Q fever is seldom reported in West Africa. The case of a man returning from Guinea Bissau who presented an acute lobar pneumonia with fever, headache, hematuria and hepatitis was confirmed by high titers of antibody in Phase II indirect immuno-fluorescence which appeared on the twelfth day of fever. Treatment with erythromycin was continued by doxycyclin, and complete resolution of all signs was promptly obtained. Coxiella Burnetii might thus be responsible of cases of unexplained fever with respiratory or hepatic manifestations in West Africa.
