The Severity of Visceral Leishmaniasis Correlates with Elevated Levels of Serum IL-6, IL-27 and sCD14
Fig 4
Levels of sCD14 and MIF are elevated in the serum of VL patients.
Serum levels of the LPS (A), FABP2 (B), sCD14 (C) and MIF (D) were measured by ELISA in classical VL patients before (n = 25) and after treatment (n = 17) (D0 and D30, respectively), severe VL patients (n = 12), DTH+ (n = 11) and healthy control (n = 07). * Mann-Whitey test.
