Notes: WBC denotes white blood cell count (10⁹/L); NEU denotes neutrophil counts (10⁹/L); LYM denotes lymphocyte counts (10⁹/L); MON denotes monocyte counts (10⁹/L); EOS denotes eosinophil counts (10⁹/L); BAS denotes basophile counts (10⁹/L). *A significant difference with baseline values (p < 0.05); ^#A significant difference between groups (p < 0.05).
