a, Dot plots showing the upregulated enriched blood transcriptomic pathways upregulated (red gradient) or downregulated (blue gradient) in the female LC group (N = 29) compared to female CC (N = 14) at 90-180 days post-infection. b-c, Pathway’s sample-level score (ssGSEA) comparing female (F) to male (M) in LC (b) and CC (c) groups. Group comparison is performed using the two-sided Mann-Whitney tests. Medians (red bars) shown for each group. For all plots P > 0.05 is considered not significant (ns).
