Whole Blood Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Correlation between Specific Immune Cells and Septicemic Melioidosis

Figure 3

Correlation between the immune cells and the onset and development of septicemic melioidosis. (a) Stacked bar plot describing in immune cell compositions of patients with septicemic melioidosis and healthy control, derived using the CIBERSORT analysis, was carried out. Each bar represents percent fractions for the cell types, with colors representing the different cell types. (b) Boxplots depicting proportions of relevant immune cell types between patients with melioidosis and healthy control. Mann-Whitney -test was performed, and was allowed to be plotted. (c) Boxplots depicting proportions of relevant immune cell types between survivors and nonsurvivors with melioidosis. Mann-Whitney -test was performed, and was allowed to be plotted.
