Figure 1

Cross sectional comparison of liver stiffness in HCV- and HIV/HCV-infected patients. Panel A) illustrates that there is no difference liver in stiffness between HIV/HCV-co-infected versus HCV-mono-infected patients, while panel b) demonstrates a marked difference in liver stiffness between HIV/HCV-co-infected patients with compensated immunity (CD4 counts > 200/μl) versus patients with advanced immunodeficiency (CD4 counts < 200/μl). Data are given as box plots, where the limits of the boxes indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the lines inside the boxes the 50th percentile (median). The whiskers mark the 10th and 90th percentiles, respectively.
