Correlations between soluble leukocyte activation markers and degree of parasitemia. Correlations between MPO (a), sCD25 (b), sCD14 (c) and sCD163 (d) and the degree of parasitemia could be assessed by quantitative P. falciparum PCR in 93 of the malaria patients (39 patients had levels below the detection limit of the assay). The figure present data from these 93 patients (49 with and 44 without co-infection with HIV)
