Relationship between presence/absence of intraepithelial spirochetal invasion and the inflammation parameters. Specimens were classified into two groups, as follows: (−) absence or (+) presence of spirochetes in the surface epithelial layer. The presence or absence of intraepithelial spirochetes in the samples did not affect the values obtained for stromal eosinophil, neutrophil, or mast cell count (sEo, sNeu, and sMast, respectively) (A-C), nor the intraepithelial eosinophil or neutrophil count (iEo and iNeu, respectively) (D & E).
