Summary of biomarker profiles for each subgroup
| Biomarker | No sepsis | Sepsis | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Malarial fever | Non-malarial fever | Malarial sepsis | Non-malarial sepsis | |
| IL-6 | ↑ | – | ↑ | – |
| IL-1β | ↑ | – | ↑ | ↑↑ |
| IL-10 | ↑ | – | ↑ | – |
| Angiopoietin-2 | ↓ | – | ↓ | – |
IL: interleukin. Increases (↑) and decreases (↓) in biomarker concentration are shown and are with respect to the non-malarial fever subgroup (reference). Only biomarkers with statistically different concentrations across subgroups are shown.
