Neutrophil levels at admittance and during the disease course of leptospirosis patients.

<p>(A) Counts of immune cells for healthy controls (circles) and leptospirosis patients (squares) at admittance (M0). (B) The maximal value of PMN count reached during hospital stay was compared between mild and severe forms. For A and B, the largest horizontal bars indicate the median value, upper and lower bars the interquartile ranges. Comparisons with non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. *, *** indicate P-value inferior to 0.05 and 0.0001 respectively. (C) Among the patients with leptospirosis, the maximal value of PMN was correlated to the maximal value of creatinine with Spearman test.
