Anti-<i>Leishmania</i> IgG antibodies levels TL patients.

<p>Sera from mucosal <i>Leishmania</i>sis (ML) (n = 53) and cutaneous <i>Leishmania</i>sis (CL) (n = 49) patients, and sera from healthy individuals from endemic (n = 39) and from non-endemic (n = 49) areas were tested against SLA (A), rHSP70 (B), rH2A (C), rH2B (D), rH3 (E) rH4 (F) and rKMP11 antigens (G). The cut-off was calculated by comparison of the reactivity values from patient's serum samples and from normal volunteers from endemic area and non-endemic areas. The cut-off value for negative and positive samples is indicated in dotted line. The solid lines represent the median values. Each point represents the mean of the duplicate OD values for the same serum with a standard deviation lower than 20%. Significance was compared using Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's post test for multiple comparisons. * p<0.05, ** p<0.001 **, p<0.0001.
