IL-17A, a possible biomarker for the evaluation of treatment response in Trypanosoma cruzi infected children: A 12-months follow-up study in Bolivia
Fig 5
Measurement of circulating cytokine levels response.
Scatter plots: distribution levels of 14 types of cytokines in children before treatment (before Tx; n = 44) and 12 months after treatment (12 mo. after Tx; n = 44). Lines represent median and IQ. Each dot represents the Interleukin mean concentration of duplicates value in a specific patient. The Wilcoxon matched-pair signed-rank test was used (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001). Tx, treatment. mo., months. IQ, Interquartile. IL, interleukin.
