Plasma levels of Filariasis composite antigen specific IgE in Loa loa microfilaraemia positive and negative ARV naïve HIV-1 infected people compared to seronegative people. As shown in (a) & (b) Loa loa microfilaraemia results in significantly (P < 0.001) higher plasma levels of antigen specific IgE exclusively in ARV naïve HIV-1 infection (compare HIV−/MF+ with HIV+/MF+). In (c) a comparative statistically analysis is made between the four groups with respect to plasma levels of their Filariasis composite antigen specific IgE. In (c) a significantly higher (P < 0.0001) plasma levels of antigen specific IgE is observed exclusively in Loa loa microfilaraemic ARV naïve HIV infected people. Statistical analysis was done with prism graph path 6.0, unpaired t test, Mann-Whitney-U test and Kruskal-Wallis test
