Figure 7. Proportions of pDCs in different age groups.

The study population was divided into three age groups: 5–9 years (A), 10–13 years (B) and 14+ years (C). Proportions of mDCs were compared between un-infected (white box) and infected (gray box) individuals and expressed as percentage of PBMC (B). Differences between un-infected and infected groups in the different age groups were analysed by univariate analysis after accounting for the effect of sex.
