Fig. 4.

Box-plot of B2MG, OPN, CFH concentrations, and WBC number, classified according to the presence of the parasite in CSF. Median and mean are represented as a solid line in the box and a diamond, respectively. Whisks are defined as 5th–95th percentile with outliers. Half-width of the notch was calculated automatically by the software. *** and ** correspond to a significant difference between the two groups, respectively < 0.0001 and < 0.01 (Mann-Whitney U test). T-, patients without parasite in CSF; T+, patients having parasites in CSF.
