Correlation analysis between intestinal flora and serum cytokine. (a) Compared cytokine levels of IFN-γ and IL-17 in serum between two groups ( Mann-Whitney U test). (b) Correlation analysis was performed between the relative abundance of bacteria and the levels of IFN-γ and IL-17. (c) Spearman was used to evaluate the correlation between fungus and IFN-γ and IL-17. The depth of color in the heat map indicates the strength of the correlation: red indicates a positive correlation, while blue indicates a negative correlation. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
