Changes in Host Immune–Endocrine Relationships during Tuberculosis Treatment in Patients with Cured and Failed Treatment Outcomes

Changes in Host Immune–Endocrine Relationships during Tuberculosis Treatment in Patients with Cured and Failed Treatment Outcomes

A bidirectional communication between the immune and endocrine systems exists and facilitates optimum responses in the host during infections. This is in part achieved through changes in secretion patterns of hypothalamic hormones induced by inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to eluci...
