Neutrophil-dominant tuberculous effusion and ADA distribution according to quantile group. (A, C, E, G) The neutrophil-dominant tuberculous effusion (pleural neutrophil more than 50%) among total tuberculosis cases in each quantile group are depicted by bar plots. Higher WBC (A) and CRP (C) were associated with neutrophil-dominant tuberculosis, as well as younger age (B, D, F, H). Box plots depict the ADA distribution according to tuberculosis or non-tuberculosis of each quantile group. For clarity, the outliers are not shown in these box plots. With respect to the non-tuberculous ADA distribution, higher WBC (A) and CRP (C) were associated with increased ADA level and distribution
