CVID patients with elevated pre-B-I precursors show significantly reduced peripheral B-cell counts and a tendency to more nodular T-cell infiltrates in BM

NS indicates not significant.

*

Patients with a percentage of pre-B-I cells > 25% were classified as pre-B-I high.

Wilcoxon test (2-sided P values).
