Table 2.
Correlation between IL-27 and clinical data in malaria patients with (n = 70) and without (n = 61) HIV and in HIV infected patients without malaria (n = 58)
| Malaria | Malaria+HIV | HIV only | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| n | r | n | r | n | r | |
| qMalPCR | 60 | 0.63** | 67 | 0.62** | – | – |
| eGFR | 45 | −0.27 | 60 | −0.29* | 43 | −0.20 |
| Platelets | 53 | −0.47** | 63 | −0.36** | 47 | −0.46** |
| Neutrophils | 42 | 0.15 | 43 | − 0.08 | 39 | 0.39* |
| Lymphocytes | 32 | −0.21 | 32 | −0.06 | 20 | −0.37 |
| WBC | 53 | 0.08 | 64 | 0.07 | 48 | −0.16 |
Not all data were available in all patients. eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, qMalPCR quantitative PCR of falciparum malaria in plasma; severity, disease severity according to WHO classification, WBC White blood cell counts. *Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). **Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)
