Figure 2

Spearman’s correlations between mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) at baseline and in vitro BCG Pasteur growth in (a) whole blood and (b) PBMC of 19 healthy UK adult volunteers at 4 weeks (circles) and 8 weeks (triangles) following BCG vaccination. Previously BCG vaccinated and naïve volunteers were grouped together. Points represent the mean of duplicate cultures. Δ log10 CFU = (log10 CFU of sample − log10 CFU of control).
