Diagnostic Value of CD25, CD69, and CD134 on Tuberculosis-Specific Antigen-Stimulated CD4+ T Cells for Tuberculous Pleurisy
Figure 5
Comparison of each activation index in PB and PF between TP and NTP. Test result = percentage of cells within the test tube (T) ˗ percentage of cells within the negative control tube (N). PF = pleural fluid; PB = peripheral blood; TP (n = 28) = tuberculous pleurisy; NTP (n = 36) = nontuberculous pleurisy. Results are expressed as the mean ± SD. P values were determined by Mann–Whitney U test. .
