Figure 3.

Dornase alfa treatment did not reduce BALF neutrophils. Control, day 0 and day 4 symbols are displayed as mean ± SEM of 11 subjects in the control group and 9 subjects in the treatment group. Each individual color-coded point with connecting line between day 0 and 4 represents a unique patient in the treatment group (N=9). Two patients only had samples from a single time point due to sample degradation. Only 11 subjects in the control group underwent BALF sampling during hospitalization and are represented by individual colored coded data points. No statistically significant difference was noted in (A) % Neutrophils, or (B) log transformed absolute neutrophil counts in the bronchoalveolar fluid between case control patients and patients prior to receiving dornase alfa.
