Fig. 4.From: Systemic profile of immune factors in an elderly Italian population affected by chronic strongyloidiasisRelation between immune factors and eosinophilia. a Correlation between haematological parameters and the serum concentration of immune factors. Correlation with WBC and EOS was computed on the entire population (n = 66, Ss+ n = 32, CTRL n = 34), correlation with the other cell types was computed on n = 53 patients (Ss+ n = 19, CTRL n = 34) due to missing information for some infected subjects. Significant correlations (P < 0.05) according to the Spearman statistics are marked with an asterisk. Colour-code indicates spearman rho coefficient. b Univariate regression analysis showing the independence between eosinophil absolute count (cells/µl) and the serum concentration of the immune factors decreased in strongyloidiasis at baselineBack to article page
