For 11 of the cytokines (IFN-\u03b2, IFN-\u03b3, IL-4, IL5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, CXCL9, CCL2, and CSF2) the serum levels were significantly elevated during acute infection. The inflammatory mediators IL-1\u03b2, IL-17A, IL-18, TNF-\u03b1, and CSF3 remained unchanged during acute infection, while they were significantly lower in chronically infected compared to noninfected patients. As for the anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-\u03b2 and CCL5, their levels remained significantly elevated during chronic infection. We also observed a significant negative correlation of several cytokine concentrations with IgG levels, indicating a rapid decline of serum concentrations during the acute phase.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These results indicate an anti-inflammatory pattern in chronically infected patients in a type II dominated setting
