Figure 2. Helminth infections are associated with elevated plasma levels of Type 2 and regulatory cytokines in active and LTB.

Figure 2

The plasma levels of Type 2 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) and regulatory (IL-10, TGFβ) cytokines were measured by multiplex ELISA in active pulmonary TB individuals with (ATB+Ss, n=42) or without Ss coinfection (ATB, n=46) and in latent-TB infected individuals with (LTB+Ss, n=44) or without Ss coinfection (LTB, n=44). The results are shown as scatterplots with each circle representing a single individual and the bar representing the GM. P values were calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons.
