Biomarker levels in women with peripheral malaria infections versus women without peripheral infection. Box plots presenting the median (horizontal lines), IQR (boxes), adjacent values (whiskers) and outliers (dots). p values from regression analyses with robust variance estimators are given; trim = trimester; numbers with peripheral malaria (real-time PCR and/ or microscopy positive)/ total tested: ‘2nd trimester’ 65/62, ‘3rd trimester’ 32/116, ‘delivery’ 79/76 for IL-10, TNF-α, Leptin and Apo-B; ‘2nd trimester’ 64/59, ‘3rd trimester’ 29/112, ‘delivery’ 66/67 for sFlt-1; ‘2nd trimester’ 50/59, ‘3rd trimester’ 29/115, ‘delivery’ 68/75 for sTNF-RII
