Semi-quantitative analysis of ANG-2 expression in lungs of P. falciparum-infected patients and control group. ANG-2 staining was executed in lung sections of people that died suddenly without any lung damage (CON), P. falciparum-infected patients without alveolar oedema (NA) and P. falciparum-infected patients with alveolar oedema (MA-ARDS). Semi-quantitative staining was performed for the following parameters: a alveolar oedematous ANG-2 staining, b ANG-2 stained alveolar septa, c, d alveoli and large blood vessels with ANG-2⁺ leukocytes, e large blood vessels with ANG-2 stained endothelial lining and f large blood vessels with ANG-2 stained lumen.
