Abstract

 

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium spp. The cause of mortality in malaria is the parasite’s resistance to malaria drugs and immune system problem. Interleukin-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine during plasmodium infection. Bangle is a herbal remedy that contains high amount of curcumin showing immunostimulant activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference of IL-10 level in Plasmodium berghei-infected Balb/C mice given with methanolic fraction of bangle (Zingiber cassumunar Roxb.) as a complementary therapy. This study was a true experimental with posttest control group design using 25 mice Balb/c which divided into 5 groups (A, B, C, D and E). All groups except group A were infected with P. berghei. After positively infected, group B was not treated, C was treated with artemisinin, group D was given with artemisinin and methanolic fraction bangle 0,017 mg/gBW, group E was treated with methanolic fraction bangle 0,017 mg/gBW. The result showed that group D had the highest-level of IL-10 among the treatment groups. The Post Hoc LSD test showed p value ≥ 0,05. In conclusion, there was no significant difference of IL-10 serum level in P. berghei-infected Balb/C mice given with methanolic fraction of bangle (Z. cassumunar Roxb.) as complementary therapy.
