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)

From: Plasma levels of interleukin 27 in falciparum malaria is increased independently of co-infection with HIV: potential immune-regulatory role during malaria
