Disease severity in patients infected with Leishmania mexicana relates to IL-1β.
Leishmania mexicana can cause both localized (LCL) and diffuse (DCL) cutaneous leishmaniasis, yet little is known about factors regulating disease severity in these patients. We analyzed if the disease was associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-1β (-511), CXCL8 (-251) and/or th...
