“Odds ratios of finding an absolute number of total lymphocytes and their subpopulations below normal ranges in the TB group compared to the CAP group.”
| CAP group (n = 48) | TB group (n = 48) | OR (95% CI) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TL <1,000 cells/μL | 5 (10%) | 24 (50%) | 8.6 (2.9–25.5) | <0.0001* |
| CD4+ <491 cells/μL | 1 (2%) | 27 (56%) | 60.4 (7.7-474.7) | <0.0001* |
| CD8+ <162 cells/μL | 0 (0%) | 6 (13%) | 14.8 (0.8-271.2) | 0.07 |
| BL <73 cells/μL | 6 (13%) | 16 (33%) | 3.5 (1.2-10.0) | 0.02* |
| NK <108 cells/μL | 3 (6%) | 16 (33%) | 7.5 (2.0-27.9) | 0.003* |
TB, tuberculosis; TL, total lymphocytes; BL, B-lymphocytes, NKL, natural killer lymphocytes; CI, confidence interval. p < 0.05 is denoted by *.
