Fig 2. Phagocytosis by monocytes.

Phagocytosis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells by pathogen-associated molecular pattern (A) and opsonin receptors (B) by blood peripheral monocytes in children. Groups: Cystic fibrosis (CF) n = 6; cystic fibrosis plus chronic rhinosinusitis and presenting nasal polyps (CF+CRS with NP) n = 6; cystic fibrosis plus chronic rhinosinusitis but without nasal polyps (CF+CRS without NP) n = 5; control group (n = 14). In the top, % of neutrophils involved in phagocytosis, in the middle, number of yeasts ingested by neutrophils and in the bottom, phagocytic index. Significant results are shown by bar between groups. Values are presented as the median, quartiles, maximum, and minimum values.
