CXCL8 and tuberculosis: There were no significant differences between the groups for any of these cell types.When we analysed the data according to whether the subjects had milary or non-milary disease there was a significant increase in BAL CXCL-8 (385.1 ± 14.8 vs 598 ± 22.6 pg/ml, p < 0.05) (Figure 4A) and neutrophilia (46.7 ± 4.1 vs 68.9 ± 2.5%, p < 0.001) (Figure 4B) in the patients with non-milary TB compared to those with milary TB.
