We observed that neither plasma TB nor bilirubin/albumin B/A ratio correlated with cerebellar bilirubin content, being the distribution of both populations overlapping with that of the HSA 5.0 g/kg/24 h group (Fig. 6A, B; r2 = 0.08 and 0.35, respectively; p = 0.2, p < 0.01, respectively, Correlation test, Pearson coefficient). Here, ALB is linked to tuberculosis.
