Relation between outcome and plasma levels of hepcidin and FGF23. a Plasma levels in individual iron-replete (black circle, black square) and iron-deficient (white circle, white square), uninfected (black circle, white circle) or P. chabaudi AS-infected (black square, white square) mice. b Plasma levels in individual P. chabaudi AS-infected iron-replete (black circle) and iron-deficient (white circle, white diamond, white triangle, white square) mice. The mice were treated with carboxymaltose Day 7 to Day 9 post-infection (black circle, white circle), with ferric carboxymaltose Day 4 to Day 2 before infection (white diamond) or Day 7 to Day 9 post-infection (white triangle), or with ferrous sulfate Day 7 to Day 9 post-infection (white square). Animals that died or had to be killed are shown with large symbols, whereas animals that survived are shown with small symbols
