“…For six patients (patients 1, 3, 5, 10, 13, and 17), follow-up examination was performed 3 months after initiation of antibiotic treatment (see Table 1 for details). All patients and control subjects gave informed consent, and one patient with classical WD (patient 5, see Table 1) is described in a published case report [19] 94.68 ± 7.65%; p = 0.019) and CD14 low were significantly higher in patients with WD than in control subjects (WD: 11.46 ± 9.10%; controls: 1.59 ± 2.04%; p = 0.003). CD14fractions were analyzed for only five patients with WD and revealed a contamination of 8.56 ± 4.64% of CD14 low and 0.70 ± 0.44% of CD14 high monocytes.…”
