Time after collection of NM samples affects cell recovery. Effect of sample processing time on (A) cell count and viability and (B) cell type frequency in NM samples (n = 4) processed immediately after sampling, at 0 h (light gray), and 8 h (gray) after sampling and storage at 4°C (B). Frequencies reported for CD66b+, CD14+ and CD3+ populations were calculated based on the total number of CD45+ cells in each sample. The Wilcoxon test was used to estimate statistical significance and P values.

Cellular composition of the nasal mucosa of healthy volunteers and CL patients. Frequency of (A) EPCAM+ and CD45+ cells and (B) CD45+/CD3+, CD45+/CD14+, and CD45+/CD66b+ populations in NM curette samples from healthy volunteers (n = 9) and CL patients (n = 5). Data are shown as mean ± SD. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to estimate statistical significance and P values.

Differentially expressed genes in NM swab samples from CL patientsa
↵a CL, cutaneous leishmaniasis; NM, nasal mucosa; SD, standard deviation; CLn+, patients with Leishmania-positive NM samples; CLn−, patients with Leishmania-negative NM samples. Boldface indicates significantly different gene expression.
↵b Gene expression values (2−ΔCt) of differentially modulated genes in NM swab samples.
↵c P values were derived from the Mann-Whitney test.
