Elevated plasma levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in Ss+ individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). The plasma levels of MMP-1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -9, -12, and -13 in Ss+ (n = 31) and Ss− (n = 62) PTB individuals were measured by multiplex assay. The data are represented as scatter plots with each circle representing a single individual. P values were calculated using the Mann-Whitney test with Holm’s correction for multiple comparisons.
