Serum concentrations of prostaglandins and cytokines in treatment-naïve patients with visceral leishmaniasis. (A) A hierarchical clustering analysis (Ward’s method) was employed to depict the overall expression profile of PGE2, PGF2α, LTB4 and RvD1, as well as the cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70, TNF-α, and TGF-β1 in serum from visceral leishmaniasis (VL) patients at different timepoints of leishmanicidal therapy and health endemic controls (HC). Fold changes were calculated and statistically significant differences are highlighted in black. (B) Parameters that displayed statistically significant differences between the timepoints tested by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-test (after log10 transformation) are shown. Additional details of the comparisons are described in Tables 2 and 4.
