Figure 2

The trend of the white blood cell differentials during one academic year. (a) The trend of total WBC count. (b) The trend of the change in absolute lymphocyte count. (c) The pattern of the change in absolute granulocyte count of participants. (d) The pattern of the change in the absolute MID count of participants. Statistical comparisons were undertaken using Kruskal–Wallis with Dunn’s multiple comparison test (Semester 1A, early part of first semester; Semester 1B, latter part of first semester; Semester 2A, early part of first semester; Semester 2B, latter part of second semester; WBC, white blood cell; #, absolute; MID: a collective term for monocytes, basophil, and eosinophil cells).
