Table 2. Comparison of TNF-alpha and IL-10 ratios of UM and SM P. falciparum malaria patients carrying TNF1 and TNF2 alleles.

Patient category	TNF allelic type (n)	TNF-alpha/IL-10 ratio, median (interquartile range)	Significance (P)*
UM	TNF1 (16)	0.59 (0.295–0.938)	0.026
UM	TNF2 (18)	0.28 (0.098–1.669)	0.005
SM	TNF1 (15)	0.31 (0.138–3.075)	0.039
SM	TNF2 (19)	4.39 (0.628–19.756)	…

Note: *Compared to SM patients carrying TNF2 allele (Mann–Whitney U test).
