  • Figure E1 - Numbers of macrophages and neutrophils in BAL obtained from children with cystic fibrosis with no infection (filled circle), isolated colonies (open circle) or a current infection (triangle) Cell numbers are expressed as number x103 / mL fluid retrieved and have been log transformed. A significant relationship between the number of BAL macrophages and neutrophils was seen. r=0.42, p=0.0004.
  • Figure E2 - Numbers of macrophages and neutrophils in BAL obtained from children with cystic fibrosis with no infection (filled circle), isolated colonies (open circle) or a current infection (triangle) Cell numbers are expressed as number x103 / mL fluid retrieved and have been log transformed. A significant relationship between the number of BAL macrophages and neutrophils was seen. r=0.66, p=0.0006.
  • Figure E3a - BAL levels of MCP-1 in children with (circle) or without (triangle) cystic fibrosis in the absence (open symbols) or presence (closed symbols) of a pulmonary infection.
  • Figure E3b - BAL levels of MIP-1α in children with (circle) or without (triangle) cystic fibrosis in the absence (open symbols) or presence (closed symbols) of a pulmonary infection.
  • Figure E3c - BAL levels of MIP-1β in children with (circle) or without (triangle) cystic fibrosis in the absence (open symbols) or presence (closed symbols) of a pulmonary infection.
  • Figure E3d - BAL levels of RANTES in children with (circle) or without (triangle) cystic fibrosis in the absence (open symbols) or presence (closed symbols) of a pulmonary infection.
  • Figure E3e - BAL levels of MIP-3α in children with (circle) or without (triangle) cystic fibrosis in the absence (open symbols) or presence (closed symbols) of a pulmonary infection.
  • Figure E4 - BAL levels of IL-8 in children with (circle) or without (triangle) cystic fibrosis in the absence (open symbols) or presence (closed symbols) of an infection.
  • Figure E5 - BAL levels of IL-6 in children with (circle) or without (triangle) cystic fibrosis in the absence (open symbols) or presence (closed symbols) of an infection.
