Blood cell count and factors related to neutrophil activation in HAE attacks compared with symptom-free periods. a WBC, thrombocyte, lymphocyte, and neutrophil-, eosinophil-, and basophil granulocyte count were measured in peripheral blood samples obtained from 14 patients in symptom-free periods and during HAE attacks. The dotted lines indicate normal range. Wilcoxon test (WBC, lymphocyte, neutrophil-, and eosinophil granulocyte) and paired t test (thrombocyte, monocyte, basophil granulocyte) calculations were used. b Levels of neutrophil related factors were measured from plasma samples of 14 patients in symptom-free periods and during HAE attacks. Wilcoxon test (TNFα, IL-8, MPO, LTB4) and paired t test (PRTN3, CCL5, MCP-1, NE, NET) were used
