Stroke-induced systemic shift toward T_H2. The plasma cytokine T_H1/T_H2 ratio of stroke patients at Admission (n = 36) and 1 day (n = 36), 2 days (n = 36), 7 days (or at discharge, DC; n = 14), and 90 days (n = 27) after stroke onset was presented in the box and whisker plot (A). The plasma cytokine T_H1/T_H2 ratio of stroke patients with various National Institute of Health Stroke Scale at admission was also calculated (B). Dotted line denotes Hospital controls. Error bars, SEM. **p < 0.01, one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni multiple comparisons post hoc test.
