From: Elevated CXCL-8 expression in bronchoalveolar lavage correlates with disease severity in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome resulting from tuberculosis

Figure 1

Cytokines levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of patients with tuberculosis (TB), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the combination of both TB and ARDS. BAL CXCL8 (A), IL-6 (B), IL-1β (C) and TNFα (D) levels in patients with TB, ARDS and in combined patients were measured by ELISA as described in material and methods. Control subjects are age-matched with a negative PPD (purified protein derivative) test. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 30 in each group except for controls where n = 20). *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01 and ***p ≤ 0.01 compared with control.
