Lower plasma cytokines in HIV+ mothers with and without malaria in pregnancy. Maternal interleukin (IL)-10, IL-21, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor in plasma at the time of delivery, measured in 9 HIV-/malaria- mothers (green), 34 HIV-/malaria+ mothers (blue), 30 HIV+/malaria- mothers (orange), and 12 HIV+/malaria+ mothers (maroon). All data points are plotted, and medians with interquartile ranges are superimposed. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare medians across the 4 groups. P values are presented for all statistically significant differences among the groups.
