CRP and tested marker levels in patients with small and large infiltrates on chest radiographs after adjustment for gender, age and BMI.

aSmall infiltrates = less than 3 of 6 zones in the lung affected, large infiltrates = 3 or more than 3 of 6 zones affectedbEstimated means of plasma concentrations were compared after logarithmic transformation, being adjusted for gender, age and BMI as covariates. The data shown are transformed back to the original unit.cTB-antigen stimulated IFN-γ response*Statistically significant when the significance level is set as P
