Parasitemia and plasmatic levels of IL-6 and IL-10 correlated with rosetting in vivax malaria. (A) Positive correlation between peripheral parasitemia and rosetting (Spearman’s correlation coefficient rho = 0.40, p =  < 0.05, n = 37). (B) Correlation of P. vivax rosetting and log IL-6 (Spearman’s correlation coefficient rho = 0.46, p < 0.05, n = 33). (C) log IL-10 (Spearman’s correlation coefficient rho = 0. 46, p < 0.05 and n = 33) and (D) IFN-γ (Student’s t-test, p = 0.48 and n = 38). CI: confidence interval.
