IL-13, IL-17 and IL-18 production was similar regardless of infection type but IL-12(p40) showed variable results depending on the stimulation used (Table 3): following PPD stimulation levels were lower from MA- compared to MTb-infected cases (152[0–499] compared to 265[14–488] pg/mL) but higher following both EC and TB10.4 stimulation (74[0–373] compared to 0[0–103]pg/mL for EC and 939[80–2666] compared to 613[107–943]pg/mL for TB10.4; Table 3). The gene discussed is IL13; the disease is infection.
