Humoral and cellular immunity were studied in 34, 59 and 21 patients with mild, moderate and severe tropical malaria in the course of the disease. It was found that immunological indices in tropical malaria change with the disease severity. Some immunological indices may be indicative of the infection severity, outcome and prognosis of the disease and contribute to more effective chemotherapy and immunocorrection.
