Cohort characterization.
| Tuberculosis Patients |
Latent | Controls | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pulmonary | Extra-pulmonary | |||
| Total individuals (n) | 25 | 12 | 10 | 57 |
| Age (A/B/C) | 10/12/2 | 3/2/7 | 2/5/3 | 23/28/7 |
| Gender (F/M) | 7/17 | 9/3 | 8/2 | 29/29 |
| Body Mass Index (BMI) (L/N/H) | 9/14/1 | 0/5/6 | 0/7/3 | 3/41/12 |
| Smoking habits (Y/N/Ex) | 6/8/5 | 0/8/0 | 0/4/0 | 11/32/5 |
Categorization for age is < 30 (A), 30–50 (B) and >50 years (C), for BMI is low (L), normal (N) and high (H), and for present smoking habits yes (Y), non (N), ex-smoker (Ex). A discrepancy between total number of individuals for the several criteria is due to missing information.
