Assessment of cell count in BAL and fungal load in lung tissue. a) Total BAL cell count, b) cellularity in BAL and c) fungal load in lung tissue. The total cell count was performed with an automatic cell counter with trypan blue solution. Cell types were determined with cytospin slides. Data are represented by mean ± SD for a) and b). Box and whiskers indicate the median, IQR, as well as minimal and maximal values for c), n = 5–7 mice per group, *: p < 0.05, ***: p < 0.001, ****: p < 0.0001
