Figure 11. Circulating SDF-1 levels in HUS patients.

Figure 11

SDF-1 levels were measured in plasma samples from individuals infected with E. coli O157:H7. (A) Infected samples obtained from patients with uncomplicated O157:H7 infection within 4 days after the onset of diarrhea (n = 36). Horizontal bars indicate the median values, boxes indicate 25th to 75th percentiles, and whiskers indicate the minimum and maximum values. Pre-HUS, samples collected prior to HUS diagnosis in those individuals who later progressed to HUS (n = 7); HUS, samples collected on the day of HUS diagnosis (n = 22). *P < 0.05. (B) SDF-1 levels over the course of E. coli O157:H7–mediated illness. Each line represents 1 patient, and the last data point for each patient was obtained on the day of HUS diagnosis.
