Evaluation of Serum Interleukin 6, Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha, and Interferon-Gamma Levels in Relation to Body Mass Index and Blood Pressure in HIV Seropositive Pregnant Women Coinfected with Malaria

Table 1

Correlation of inflammatory markers, with some anthropometric parameters in HIV seropositive pregnant participants with/without malaria and control participant.

Parameters	R
IL-6 vs IFN-ɣ (A) n = 32	0.479	0.006
TNF-α vs SPB (B) n = 30	−0.36	0.048
IFN-ɣ vs BMI (E)n = 30	0.433	0.017

A = HIV seropositive pregnant women with malaria parasitemia, B = HIV seropositive pregnant women without malaria parasitemia, C = HIV seronegative pregnant women with malaria parasitemia, D = HIV seronegative pregnant women without malaria parasitemia, E = nonpregnant HIV seronegative women without malaria parasitemia. Control r = Pearson correlation coefficient. Correlation is significant when .
