A) The number of granulomas in all lung lobes was highest at 5 weeks after aerosol infection with Mtb and decreased at later time points. B) The bacillary logCFU (±SE) in the lung showing highest bacillary burden at 5 weeks and decreasing thereafter. C) In rabbits treated with dexamethasone from week 10 to 15, the number of granulomas in all lung lobes increased at week 15 after aerosol infection (triangles, dotted line represents the median). The number of granulomas in the lungs of untreated controls in each rabbit necropsied is shown as a filled circle. D) bacillary logCFU in the lungs of 6 rabbits at 15 weeks and 20 weeks after 5 weeks of dexamethasone treatment (data previously published7)
