Figure 4
Monocyte ICAM-1 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) in severe malaria anaemia (SMA), cerebral malaria (CM) and uncomplicated malaria (UM). Monocyte ICAM-1 values were significantly different among the three groups, p < 0.0001 (Kruskal-Wallis). Values in patients with cerebral malaria were significantly higher than those with severe malaria anaemia, p < 0.0014 (Wilcoxon). Values in patients with cerebral malaria were not significantly different from levels observed in patients with uncomplicated malaria, p = 0.49. Horizontal line is the median, brackets span the 25th to 75th percentile. The number of patients in each category differs from Figure 3 because some patients with sICAM-1 measures did not have monocyte ICAM-1 measurement.
