Figure 1. The correlation between host biomarkers and disease prognosis.
Levels of CCL27 (A), CXCL1 (B), and soluble VCAM-1 (C) in serum samples obtained from control patients (Ctrl, n = 20) and HFMD patients with or without CNS complications (n = 20, respectively). The line represents the average value. (D) Plots of soluble VCAM-1 concentrations in sera of HFMD patients against their maximal fever temperatures. Numbers above square brackets indicate P values for the corresponding comparisons.
