Proportions of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs among active pulmonary tuberculosis patients with different demographic and clinical characteristics. (a) Comparison of the proportion of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs between active pulmonary tuberculosis patients with positive and negative anti-M. tuberculosis antibodies. (b) Comparison of the proportion of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs between male and female active pulmonary tuberculosis patients. (c) Comparison of the proportion of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs between active pulmonary tuberculosis patients with positive and negative M. tuberculosis culture. (d) Comparison of the proportion of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs between active pulmonary tuberculosis patients with positive and negative tuberculin tests. (e) Comparison of the proportion of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs between active pulmonary tuberculosis patients with mild and severe CT examinations. (f) Comparison of the proportion of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs between active pulmonary tuberculosis patients with positive and negative sputum smear tests.
