Effects of glucose doses on Mtbi-blastogenesis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from in controls (Co), patients with type 2 diabetes (DM), with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) or with TB and DM (TB-DM) treated with cortisol 0.1 μM (A) or 1 μM (B). Mtbi: γ-irradiated H37Rv M. tuberculosis strain. Results are shown as Stimulation index (SI: average of counts per minute -cpm- in Mtbi stimulated cultures/average of cpm in unstimulated cultures). Box plots show median values, 25–75 percentiles from data in each group with maximum and minimum values. +different from Co, p < 0.04; &different from TB, p < 0.02; #different from DM, p < 0.05; in each case when comparing with the same glucose dose.
