From: Systemic infection modifies the neuroinflammatory response in late stage Alzheimer’s disease
Quantification of the CD3-positive T cells as percentage of cases presenting T cells in the blood vessels and/or the parenchyma in the grey and white matter, in the controls and Alzheimer’s cases in the presence or absence of systemic infection at the time of death. The effect of Alzheimer’s disease was detected in the white matter with increased T cells in the blood vessels (p = 0.025) and parenchyma (p = 0.010). An effect of infection was observed in Alzheimer’s disease with fewer T cells in the Alzheimer’s disease with systemic infection group in the grey matter blood vessels (p = 0.039), and the white matter (blood vessels: p = 0.042; parenchyma: p = 0.003)
