Lumen radius (A), thicknesses of the endothelium (B) and the BM layers (C) and pericyte coverage (D) of capillaries from VL biopsies. The structural indices for the composition of the capillary compartments were determined by TBIA-morphometry. The values for the BM thickness (C) and PC coverage (D) were previously published in modified form by Baum and Bigler (2016). Data presented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance within studies was tested either with Student’s t-test or two-way ANOVA combined with Tukey’s post hoc tests, respectively, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. Cross-study significance between the collective of healthy participants and the three patient groups was examined by one-way ANOVA combined with Tukey’s post hoc tests, ^xxP < 0.01 compared to healthy; ^yyP < 0.01 compared to HYPT.
