Percentage of CD3+ lymphocytes that are γδ T cells and CD3+/CD4–/CD8– T cells in peripheral blood samples from patients with confirmed or probable tularemia by clinical manifestation, Czech Republic, 2003–2015. The percentage of γδ T cells was determined for 48 cases and percentage of CD3+/CD4–/CD8– T cells for 64 cases. Paired comparisons (Kruskal-Wallis test) reveal no significant differences except for glandular versus typhoidal in γδ (p = 0.037) and CD3+/CD4–/CD8– T cells (p = 0.041). Boxes
