∗IL-10 expression showed significant difference in HCV-infected (P < 0.0001) and noninfected patients (P < 0.003) compared to nondisease control.
∗∗IL-12 expression showed significant difference in HCV-infected and noninfected patients (P < 0.0001) compared to nondisease control.
∗∗∗+ve HCV-chronic liver disease shows that there is asymptotic significance (P < 0.0001) within groups (Kruskal-Wallis test) and the difference between groups was detected by Mann-Whitney showing that there is a significant (P < 0.0001) difference between each group and the other one.
