Figure 2

The cellular production of interleukin 10 (IL-10) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) is shown in children without parasite infection (Group G0, n = 11), children with single infection (Group G1, n = 14) and children with poly-parasite infections (Group G3+, n = 7), and also, IL-10 production in children at 8 weeks post anti-parasite treatment (pT, n = 19) is given. The release of IL-10 by PBMC was quantified by cytokine specific ELISA in cell culture supernatant of PBMC activated with antigens from P. falciparum (Pf), with D. pteronyssinus (Dp) or with A. fumigatus (Af) is shown in G0, G1, G3+ children before and 8 weeks post anti-parasite treatment (pT). Cellular production of IL-10 is shown as means with the 95% upper and lower confidence interval. The level of significance was adjusted according to Bonferroni–Holm, and significant differences between groups are indicated as *P ≤ 0.002.
