Figure 4

Thyroid hormone levels in HIV-infected patients with or without HBV/HCV coinfection. FT3, free tri-iodothyronine; FT4, free thyroxine; TSH, thyrotropin; HBV, hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection; HCV, hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection; Non: no HBV/HCV coinfection. Thyroid hormone of the first line of the picture belongs to all of the patients; thyroid hormone of the second line belongs to patients with normal thyroid function; thyroid hormone of the third line belongs to patients with thyroid dysfunction. The horizontal lines represent mean values, the boxes represent standard deviations, and the whiskers represent ranges. The dashed lines represent the normal ranges of thyroid hormones. values > 0.05 in pairwise comparisons are not shown in the figure.
