The blood samples were collected from 64 women infected with Trichomonas vaginalis and suffering from vaginal discharge attending the outpatient clinics at Al-Zahra'a children and Maternity Hospital and private clinics, Najaf, between June 2016 to March 2017, in addition to 32 healthy patients as a control. Blood sera were obtained from those women. The cytokines IL-10 and IFN-γ were evaluated in serum. There was a significant increase in both cytokines in the infected women, and also both cytokines showed significant differences. These trichomoniasis patients showed higher production of IL-10 and lower IFN-γ, resulting in a higher ratio of IL-10: IFN-γ compared to the control group ratio. %U https://pharmacophorejournal.com/article/role-of-il-10-in-inhibition-of-trichomonas-vaginalis-killing-and-ifn-activated-macrophages
