From: Cytokine expression during early and late phase of acute Puumala hantavirus infection
Cytokine expression during early (average 6 days after onset of symptoms) and late phase (average 12 days after onset of symptoms) of acute hantavirus infection in 21 patients. The line in the middle of each box represents the median. The lower and the upper edges of the box are the 1st and 3rd quartile, respectively. There was a significant decrease of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α and a significant increase of TGF-β1. Significant boxplots (p < 0.05) are marked with *.
