Serum levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), interleukin-2 (IL-2) and amino-terminal propeptide type III procollagen (PIII NP) in patients with acute and chronic filariasis.

Filariasis, a mosquito-borne parasitic disease, is a worldwide health problem. There is still, some controversial concerning the diagnosis of acute and chronic infections. The serum levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), interleukin-2 (IL-2) and amino-terminal propeptide Type III (PIII NP) was measured in patients with acute and chronic filariasis as compared with controls. The ET-1, IL-2 and PIII NP levels were significantly high in chronic cases than in acute. On the other hand, the serum levels of IL-2 and PIII NP were significantly high in acute cases than in the controls. These three immuno-mediators play role in the pathogenesis of filariasis particularly. The chronic cases. So, these mediators can be used as markers for diagnosis of human cases infected with chronic and acute filariasis.
