Table 1 Total cellular histamine content in the blood of S. mansoni-infected individuals, pre- and post-treatment, and in non infected individuals.

From: Changes in IgE- and Antigen-dependent histamine-release in peripheral blood of Schistosoma mansoni-infected Ugandan fishermen after treatment with praziquantel

 

Median total cellular histamine content (ng/ml)

pre-treatment (N = 32)

81.0 (43.5 – 97.0)

1 day post treatment (N = 29)

108.0 (85.5 – 145.5)

21 days post-treatment (N = 25)

160.5 (83.8 – 278.8)

non-infected (N = 8)

179.0 (163.0 – 248.5)

  1. Median total cellular histamine content, expressed as ng/ml blood, from S. mansoni-infected individuals, and from non-infected individuals. Total cellular histamine content was measured in whole washed blood of each S. mansoni-infected individuals at pre-treatment, 1-day or 21-days post-treatment, and in each non-infected individuals at the same time as 21-days post-treatment. Numbers in brackets are 25% and 75% percentiles, respectively.
