A. Levels of anti-rH2A IgG detected in the sera of 9 healthy subjects (HS), 28 individuals with subclinical L. chagasi infection (SC), 37 visceral leishmaniasis patients (VL), and 15 patients with Chagas' disease. The cutoff value was defined as the mean optical density plus three standard deviations for the values obtained from sera of healthy subjects plus the values for the patients with Chagas' disease (control group). In each group, the median line appears. B. Levels of anti-KMP11 IgG detected in the sera of 29 healthy subjects, 22 patients with visceral leishmaniasis, 27 individuals with subclinical L. chagasi infection, and 15 patients with Chagas' disease. The cutoff value was defined as the mean optical density plus three standard deviations for the values obtained from sera of healthy subjects plus the values for the patients with Chagas' disease (control group). In each group, the median line appears. C. Levels of anti-“Q” protein IgG detected in sera of 9 healthy subjects, 30 individuals with subclinical L. chagasi infection, and 23 patients with visceral leishmaniasis. The cutoff value was defined as the mean optical density plus three standard deviations for the values obtained from sera of healthy subjects. In each group, the median line appears.
