Monocyte-derived macrophages from individuals with CL + DM are more susceptible to Leishmania braziliensis. Representative images of cultured macrophages from CL and CL + DM individuals after L. braziliensis infection (A). Quantification of infection rate (B), amastigotes in 100 cells (C) and amastigotes per cell (D) in macrophages from CL and CL + DM individuals, after infection with L. braziliensis. (E) Spearman correlation between blood glucose levels and infection rate in the CL (open circles) and CL + DM (full circles). Arrows indicate the presence of amastigotes. Data shown in median. Mann-Whitney test (B-D). Spearman correlation (E). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
