Diagnostic Value of CD25, CD69, and CD134 on Tuberculosis-Specific Antigen-Stimulated CD4+ T Cells for Tuberculous Pleurisy

Figure 4

Diagnostic value of CD25+, CD69+, CD134+, and double positive CD4+ T cells in PB for ATB. PB = peripheral blood; ATB (n = 45) = active tuberculosis; LTBI (n = 40) = latent tuberculosis infection; NTB (n = 50) = nontuberculosis; HC (n = 42) = healthy control. P values were determined by Z-test. In the differential diagnosis of ATB and NTB/HC, all the P values of markers in PF and PB were <0.0001. In the differential diagnosis of ATB and LTBI, P_CD25 = 0.05, P_CD69 = 0.02, P_CD134 = 0.03, P_CD25+CD69+ = 0.12, P_CD25+CD134+ = 0.06, P_CD69+CD134+ = 0.33.
