Increased serum concentration of G-CSF in cystic fibrosis patients with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia P.Ø. Jensen, C. Moser, A. Kharazmi, T. Presler, C. Koch, N.

Fig. 1 The concentration of PMNs in the blood of CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection (n=31) and in non-infected CF patients (n=6). The lines show the medians. Normal reference interval: 1.8–7.4×109 PMNs pr l. Data were analyzed by Mann–Whitney test.

Fig. 2 This figure shows the concentration of G-CSF and IL-8 in the sera of CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection (n=37) and in non-infected CF patients (n=6). The concentration of cytokines was measured with ELIZA as pg/ml. (A) G-CSF. (B) IL-8. The lines show the medians. Data were analyzed by Mann–Whitney test.

Fig. 3 Correlation between concentration of G-CSF in the sera and the concentration of TNF-α in the sputum from CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection (n=31). Correlation was evaluated by Spearmann Rank test (p<0.006, Rho=0.475). Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2006 5, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2006 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions

Fig. 4 Correlation between the lung function expressed as percentage of predicted value in CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection and the concentration of PMNs in the blood (n=29) and the concentration of G-CSF in the sera (n=34). Correlations were evaluated by Spearmann Rank test. (A) PMNs and FEV1 (p<0.03, Rho=−0.400). (B) PMNs and FVC (p<0.03, Rho=−0.421). (C) G-CSF and FEV1 (p<0.009, Rho=−0.458). (D) G-CSF and FVC (p<0.02, Rho=−0.400). Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2006 5, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2006 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions

Fig. 5 The lung function before and after elective antibiotic treatment of 15 CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection. Wilcoxon signed pair-differences rank test was used for statistical analysis. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2006 5, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2006 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions

Fig. 6 The concentration of G-CSF in the sera and PMNs in the peripheral blood before and after elective antibiotic treatment of 15 CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection. Wilcoxon signed pair-differences rank test was used for statistical analysis. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2006 5, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2006 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions

Fig. 7 The expression of CD16 and CD62L on in the peripheral blood before and after elective antibiotic treatment of 15 CF patients with chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection. Wilcoxon signed pair-differences rank test was used for statistical analysis. Journal of Cystic Fibrosis 2006 5, DOI: ( /j.jcf ) Copyright © 2006 European Cystic Fibrosis Society Terms and Conditions
