Figure 3. Association between level of anti-SWAP IgG and schistosomiasis-related morbidity.

Figure 3

(A) Parasite-reactive IgG levels were associated with longitudinal spleen size, categorized as <120 or ≥120 mm, as analyzed by Mann-Whitney test. Correlation analyses were performed on the absorbance of anti-SWAP IgG levels by ELISA and the following morbidity parameters: longitudinal spleen size (B), diameter of the portal vein (C), thickness of the portal vein at its entrance into the porta hepatis (D) and its bifurcation inside the liver (E), and the thickness of gallbladder wall (F) determined by ultrasound evaluation. Spearman correlation coefficients and p-values are shown for each graph.
