Leukocyte counts, neutrophil counts, plasma levels of nucleosomes, elastase and factor VII–activating protease in patients with pulmonary. Total leukocyte counts (a) and neutrophil counts (b) in blood; plasma concentrations of nucleosomes (c) and elastase-α1-antitrypsin (d), the correlation between nucleosome and elastase levels as determined by Spearman’s rho test (e); plasma levels of factor VII–activating protease (FSAP)-α2-antiplasmin complexes (f). Data are from healthy blood donors (n = 32) and tuberculosis patients (n = 61), and shown as box-and-whisker diagrams depicting the median, the smallest observation, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and largest observation. ****P < 0.0001
