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 affected
bEstimated 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<0.007 based on the Bonferrroni correction.
