Blood cytokine responses to early secreted protein antigen-6/culture filtrate protein-10 tuberculosis antigens 2 months after antituberculosis treatment among patients with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis

Blood cytokine responses to early secreted protein antigen-6/culture filtrate protein-10 tuberculosis antigens 2 months after antituberculosis treatment among patients with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis

Background: Human tuberculosis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis.
