CD14 and systemic lupus erythematosus: When we compared absolute counts, there were fewer monocytes (459.2 ± 176.8 monocytes/μL for SLE vs. 742.6 ± 94.5 monocytes/μL for HD, p < 0.001) and fewer monocytes without PLTs (201 ± 49.8 CD14+PLT-/μL for SLE vs. 425.9 ± 53.29 CD14+PLT-/μL for HD, p < 0.001) in SLE patients than in HD, but comparable levels of CD14+PLT+ counts (data not shown).
