Figure 1From: High levels of soluble CD40 ligand and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in serum are associated with favorable clinical evolution in human visceral leishmaniasis Serum levels of sCD40L and MMP-9 in VL patients, Chagas disease patients and non endemic controls. (A) Compares sCD40L levels in non endemic controls, VL patients and Chagas disease patients as measured by Luminex assay (p <0.001). (B) Compares MMP-9 in non endemic controls and VL patients (p < 0.05), and Chagas disease patients (p < 0.0001) *Mann Whitney test.Back to article page
