For IVCM-CALT analysis, we took into account the level of inflammatory cell infiltration at the periphery (outside) and in the center (inside) of the superficial layers in CALT follicles: (0/1): no or very slight infiltration (0–100 inflammatory cells/mm2); (2): moderate (100–500 inflammatory cells/mm2); (3): pronounced (500–1000 inflammatory cells/mm2), (4): severe (>1000 inflammatory cells/mm2).
