IL-5 and IL-10 production induced by antigens from L. braziliensis isolates isolated CL or DL cases. Data of cutaneous leishmaniasis patients (hatched bars) and disseminated leishmaniasis patients (black bars) are illustrated as the mean ± SEM of the same supernatants from Figure 1 assayed by ELISA for IL-5 (A) *P = 0.07, **P = 0.13, Mann-Whitney test; ⁺P < 0.008 and ⁺⁺P < 0.08, Wilcoxon paired non-parametric test and IL-10 (B) *,**P = 0.4, Mann-Whitney test; ⁺P = 0.5 and ⁺⁺P < 0.4, Wilcoxon paired non-parametric test.
