Table 4. B cells (CD19+) in the CSF of HAT patients and controls.
Control group n = 4 | S-1 patients n = 8 | S-int patients n = 8 | S-2 patients n = 13 | |
Total CSF cell count (cells/µl) | 1.7±1.3 | 2.4±0.9 | 8.3±1.7 | 477.7±426.6 |
CD19+ B-cell count (cells/µl) | 0.01±0.01* | 0.11±0.10¤ | 0.5±0.36• | 243.70±254.26* ¤ • |

HAT Patients were at stage 1 (S-1), intermediate stage (S-int) or stage 2 (S-2). B cells (CD 19+) are expressed as means±standard deviation of absolute values and as a percentage of total CSF cell count. Note: P<0.05 for statistical differences.
