[Modulation of high-density lipoprotein and cytokine IL-1β and IL-6 levels in patients with dengue].

Objectives: To assess High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in patients with dengue classified according to the severity of the clinical presentation.

Materials And Methods: A descriptive study was carried out with 70 individuals with dengue, classified as no alarm signs (DSSA), with signs of alarm (DCSA), and severe dengue (DG); 15 healthy donors were included as controls (CS). The serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were quantified through ELISA, and the HDL levels through serum by a colorimetric test.
