From: High levels of anti-Leishmania IgG3 and low CD4+ T cells count were associated with relapses in visceral leishmaniasis

Fig. 3

Anti-Leishmania infantum Igs levels in non-relapsing (NR) and relapsing (R) VL patients. IgG1 (a) and IgG3 (b) levels in NR-VL and R-VL patients throughout clinical follow up. Negative correlation between the absolute counts of CD4+ T lymphocytes and levels of anti-L. infantum IgG3 during all the follow-up (c) (Spearman correlation, p < 0.05, r = − 0.52). Post-treatment: Early post-treatment. Mpt: months post-treatment. Each point represents a VL patient and each color represents the same patient in the different stages of clinical follow-up. The horizontal bars represent the median values of each group. Asterisks denote statistically significant differences between the phases of clinical follow-up within the R or NR group itself or even between the R and NR group: *p < 0.05
