Fig. 3. (A) Comparison of TLR4 expression in unaffected and affected skin of patients with disseminated (DD) and localized dermatophytosis (LD), and in skin of healthy controls. (B) A comparison of TLR2 expression in unaffected and affected skin of patients with DD or LD and in skin of healthy controls. TLR4 and TLR2 expression were quantified based on the optical density index (ODI) of the lower and upper epidermis layers. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. * p = 0.01.
