From: Chronic pneumonia with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and impaired alveolar fluid clearance
Evolution of the DAFC over time in sterile and infected beads injected groups. We observe an increase on the 2nd day post infection, the clearance returns to a basal level on the 5th day. Footnote: Data are mean (± SD). Comparisons between groups were made using analysis of variance with post hoc for multiple comparisons. *p < 0.05 vs the other groups. DAFC: distal alveolar fluid clearance, Ctr: Control group, St: sterile beads injected group, Pn: pneumonic groups from the 2nd to the 21st day.
