From: Potential diagnostic value of pleural fluid cytokines levels for tuberculous pleural effusion
(A) ADA pleural fluid concentrations in TPE (n = 30) and in 3 etiologies of pleural effusions: malignant (n = 30), empyema (n = 14) and parapneumonic (n = 14) pleural effusions. In each data bar, Horizontal bars indicate mean and the bottom and top of the bar represent the standard error of the mean (SEM). (B) IL-27 pleural fluid concentrations in tuberculous pleural effusion (n = 30) and in 3 etiologies of pleural effusions: malignant (n = 30), empyema (n = 14) and parapneumonic (n = 14) pleural effusions. (C) ADA.IL-27 pleural fluid concentrations in tuberculous pleural effusion (n = 30) and in 3 etiologies of pleural effusions: malignant (n = 30), empyema (n = 14) and parapneumonic (n = 14) pleural effusions. (D) IL-6 pleural fluid concentrations in TPE (n = 30) and in 3 etiologies of pleural effusions: malignant, empyema and parapneumonic pleural effusions. (E) CXCL8 pleural fluid concentrations in TPE (n = 30) and in 3 etiologies of pleural effusions: malignant (n = 30), empyema (n = 14) and parapneumonic (n = 14) pleural effusions. (F) CCL1 pleural fluid concentrations in TPE (n = 30) and in 3 etiologies of pleural effusions: malignant (n = 30), empyema (n = 14) and parapneumonic (n = 14) pleural effusions. (G) IP-10 pleural fluid concentrations in TPE (n = 30) and in 3 etiologies of pleural effusions: malignant (n = 30), empyema (n = 14) and parapneumonic (n = 14) pleural effusions. (H) IL-18 pleural fluid concentrations in TPE (n = 30) and in 3 etiologies of pleural effusions: malignant (n = 30), empyema (n = 14) and parapneumonic (n = 14) pleural effusions.
