Plasma MMP-7 and -8 are elevated, while MMP-2 is suppressed, in patients with tuberculosis (TB). Plasma MMP and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) concentrations were analyzed by luminex array. In patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, plasma MMP-2 concentrations were suppressed, while MMP-7 and MMP-8 were increased in tuberculosis. No other MMPs analyzed differed significantly.
