No correlation between the systemic plasma levels of angiogenic factors and culture grade in individuals with TBL. The relationship between TBL plasma levels of A) VEGF (A, C and D), B) their receptors (R1, R2 and R3) and C) angiopoietin (Ang-1 and 2) and their receptors (TIE2) were correlated with bacillary culture grade. Results are represented in scatter plots, with each circle representing a single individual and the bars indicating the geometric means. P values were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U-test. VEGF= vascular endothelial growth factor; CG= culture grade; VEGF-R = VEGF receptor; TIE2 = tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin-like and epidermal growth factor-like domains 2; TBL = tuberculous lymphadenitis.
