    Acute febrile illness (AFI) in Peru is significantly impacted by arboviruses like Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, and Mayaro, complicating clinical diagnosis.

  • 2

    Cytokines play a crucial role in arboviral pathogenesis and may serve as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for infections.

  • 3

    Distinct cytokine profiles are associated with each arbovirus, with specific markers linked to disease severity and immune responses.

  • 4

    The study analyzed cytokine levels in patients with confirmed arboviral infections to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes.

  • 5

    Cajamarca, Peru, was the study location, where diverse etiological agents of AFI, including arboviruses, were previously reported.
