Fig 1.
Box plots of the admission IL-8 in the Babesia-infected group (A), survivors and non-survivors (B), compared to the healthy control group. The box represents the IQR (i.e. the middle 50% of the observations) with the line inside the box as the median. The whiskers represent the main body of the data, indicating the range of the data. Extreme outlier values that are 3 times removed from the IQR are represented by an asterisk.
Fig 2.
Box plots of the admission IL-10 in the Babesia-infected group (A), survivors and non-survivors (B), compared to the healthy control group. The box represents the IQR (i.e. the middle 50% of the observations) with the line inside the box as the median. The whiskers represent the main body of the data, indicating the range of the data. Outliers, values that are 1.5 times removed from the IQR, are plotted as open circles.
Fig 3.
Box plots of the admission MCP-1 in the Babesia-infected group (A), survivors and non-survivors (B), compared to the healthy control group. The box represents the IQR (i.e. the middle 50% of the observations) with the line inside the box as the median. The whiskers represent the main body of the data, indicating the range of the data. Outliers, values that are 1.5 times removed from the IQR, are plotted as open circles. Extreme outlier values that are 3 times removed from the IQR are represented by asterisks.
Fig 4.
Box plots of the admission IL-6 in the Babesia-infected group (A), survivors and non-survivors (B), compared to the healthy control group. The box represents the IQR (i.e. the middle 50% of the observations) with the line inside the box as the median. The whiskers represent the main body of the data, indicating the range of the data. Outliers, values that are 1.5 times removed from the IQR, are plotted as open circles.
