FIG 1
Levels of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in whole-blood and effusion fluid samples from patients with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), Castleman multicentric disease (MCD), and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) at the time of KSHV-associated disease diagnosis. Horizontal lines indicate median values (m); crosses indicate average values; boxes indicate quartile 1 and quartile 3 values; whiskers indicate 95% confidence intervals; black circles indicate outliers. P values were determined using the Kruskal-Wallis test (****, P < 0.0001) or the Mann-Whitney U test (*, P < 0.016).
