Levels of anti-Lbk39 antibodies detected by means of indirect ELISA in individuals from CL endemic and non-endemic areas in Brazil compared to levels of anti-L. braziliensis antibodies detected by the same technique. Group 0: healthy individuals from non-endemic areas; Group 1: CL patients with active lesion and culture positives; Group 2: VL: positive patients for VL; Group 3: serum from patients with Chagas disease. ANOVA p values are shown for each antigen, together with pairwise Tukey's tests for comparisons between groups for the same antigen.
