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

Figure 4

CXCL8 levels and neutrophil numbers in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of patients with miliary and non-miliary tuberculosis (TB). BAL CXCL8 levels (A) and the percentage BAL neutrophils (B) in patients with miliary (n=11) and non-miliary TB (n=19) were measured by ELISA as described in the materials and methods. The effect of the presence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on CXCL8 (C) and BAL neutrophils (D) was also assessed. Control (CONT) subjects are age-matched with a negative PPD (purified protein derivative) test. Data are presented as mean±SEM. *p≤0.05, **p≤0.01 and ***p≤0.01.
