Frequency distribution of samples by % neutrophils, % lymphocytes and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) in malignant pleural effusions (left panel) and blood (right panel).
Results from patients with malignant pleural effusions (MPE) are in blue and benign effusions in green. Samples with concurrent infection are shown in lighter colour for neutrophil and lymphocyte distribution.
