A. M tuberculosis sputum smear conversion. At 4 weeks, there was a higher Mtb smear conversion rate in the NEB rIFN-γ1b group compared to DOTS and subcutaneous IFN-γ1b plus DOTS (p = 0.03). At enrollment, all sputa were Mtb smear and culture positive. Y axis represents 1- probability of conversion in a Kaplan-Meier curve. B. Change in fever over 16 weeks comparing DOTS (dashed line) to DOTS plus nebulized rIFN-γ1b group (solid line). rIFN-γ1b significantly (p<0.05) reduced subjective fever at 4 weeks. Y axis represents proportion of patients having fever.
