Gene Polymorphisms of <i>TLR4</i> and <i>TLR9</i> and <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> Meningitis in Angolan Children
Bacterial meningitis (BM) is a severe disease caused by various bacterial pathogens. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) protect humans from invading pathogens. In this study, we determined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of <i>TLR4</i> and <i>TLR9</i> are associated wi...
