Comparisons after 2 days of treatment between patients treated with and without PMX-DHP. A) Changes in PaO2/FiO2 ratio (ΔP/F ratio; P/F ratio 2 days after the start of treatments – P/F ratio just before treatments). B) Changes in the white blood cell count (ΔWBC). C) Changes in the neutrophil count (ΔNeut). D) Changes in the platelet count (ΔPlt). E) Changes in serum lactate dehydrogenase level (ΔLDH). There were significant differences in ΔP/F ratio, ΔWBC, ΔNeut, and ΔPlt (all p < 0.05). The horizontal bars indicate the median values.
