Eosinophil counts and serum IgE levels are significantly higher in patients culturing MAI complex mycobacterium than in patients only culturing other species of NTM. a-c Peripheral blood eosinophil counts, eosinophils as a percentage of the total leukocyte count, and serum IgE levels compared between patients whose samples cultured a Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI) complex NTM and those patients who cultured NTM only other than MAI mycobacteria. Unpaired t-tests with Welch’s correction (in the case of IgE levels after logarithmic transformation and exclusion of outlier indicated by symbol X); *, p ≤ 0.05
