Plasma IL-6 levels are significantly elevated in individuals with Opisthorchis-induced APF and Opisthorchis-induced CCA.

<p>The distribution of plasma concentration of Interleukin (IL)-6) in picograms per milliliter is shown in boxplots by study group. The bottom and top of each box represent the 25th and 75th percentile (the lower and upper quartiles, respectively) of IL-6 concentration in plasma per group. The band near the middle of each box represents the median value of IL-6 concentration per group. The whiskers represent the minimum (bottom) and maximum (top) of IL-6 concentration per group.</p
