IL10 and schistosomiasis: Further, both blood IL-10 and TNF levels were positively correlated with eosinophil counts (r = 0.53, p = 0.001 and r = 0.38, p = 0.019, respectively; Fig. 2c & d), although the associations of eosinophilia and eosinophil counts with schistosomiasis were not significant (OR = 2.538, p = 0.282 for eosinophilia and p = 0.866 for eosinophil counts; Table 1 and Fig. 2e).
