Methodological and Statistical Comments on T Helper Cytokines Profile and Hepatitis C

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. I read with much interest paper by Sofian M et al. about serum profile of T helper 1 and 2 cytokines in HCV infected patients (1). They have presented that " unfortunately, some immunological indicators are not normally distributed , and this can minimally affect the resul...

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. We have read the article published in your journal written by Sofian et al., entitled " the serum profile of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in treated and non-treated HCV infected individuals " (1). Evidences well documented that the simultaneous elevation of Th1 and Th2 related cy...
