Figure 3From: CD4/CD8 ratio and cytokine levels of the BAL fluid in patients with bronchiectasis caused by sulfur mustard gas inhalationRelationship between the IL-8 and TNF-α levels in BAL fluid and the HRCT scores in patients with bronchiectasis caused by mustard gas inhalation. There were significant, positive correlations between the IL-8 (r = -0.52, p = 0.005) and TNF-α (r = -0.44, p = 0.01) in BAL fluid and HRCT scores.Back to article page
