Iron and Hb concentration profiling among PKDL patients vs. healthy and VL patients. The concentration of iron (µMol/L) was measured from the sera samples of the patients and compared among the healthy (n = 15) control versus PKDL (n = 25) and VL (n = 25) patients. Similarly the concentration of haemoglobin (% g/dL) was mentioned in the form of comparison of healthy controls (n = 15) versus PKDL (n = 39) and VL (n = 20) patients. The statistical p-value was p < 0.005 (**).
