Figure 2From: CD4/CD8 ratio and cytokine levels of the BAL fluid in patients with bronchiectasis caused by sulfur mustard gas inhalationRelationship between the percentage and absolute number of CD4 lymphocytes in BAL fluid and the HRCT scores in patients with bronchiectasis due to mustard gas inhalation. There were significant, positive correlations between the percentage (r = -0.49, p = 0.009) of and the absolute number of CD4 lymphocytes (r = -0.50, p = 0.008) in BAL fluid and HRCT scores.Back to article page
