Figure 1.
Cytokines/chemokines differentially expressed between controls (n = 123) and cases (n = 63) by univariate conditional logistic regression. Five cytokines were associated with increased rates of TB recurrence, including IL6 (OR 2.66, 95% CI 1.34–5.27, P = .005), IP10 (OR 4.62, 95% CI 1.69–12.65, P = .003), MIG (OR 3.11, 95% CI 1.10–8.82, P = .034) and IL1β (OR 1.89, 95% CI 0.97–3.68, P = .064) and IL1Rα (OR 1.52, 95% CI 0.95–2.45, P = .084, whereas IFNβ was associated with decreased risk (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.13–0.87, P = .025). Cytokines were plotted on log scale (Log 10), Box and Whiskers (5–95%). P-values indicated in the figures are result of a univariate conditional logistic regression (Table 1). Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; IL, interleukin; IFN, interferon; IP, interferon gamma induced protein; MIG, monokine induced by IFN-γ; OR, odds ratio; TB, tuberculosis.
