Undernutrition is associated with perturbations in T cell-, B cell-, monocyte- and dendritic cell- subsets in latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Low BMI is associated with diminished frequencies and absolute counts of T cells, B cells and NK cells.
(A) The frequencies of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells and NK cells in LTBI-LBMI [LBMI] (n = 30) or LTBI-NBMI [NBMI] (n = 30) group were measured by flow cytometry clinical software. (B) The absolute counts of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells and NK cells in LTBI-LBMI [LBMI] (n = 30) or LTBI-NBMI [NBMI] (n = 30) group were measured by flow cytometry clinical software. The data are depicted as scatter plots and each circle represent a single person. Mann–Whitney U-test with Holms correction for multiple comparisons were done to calculate p values.
