Significantly elevated concentrations of IL-4 (p = 0.033), G-CSF (p = 0.0048), IFN-γ (p = 0.0064) and TNF-α (p = 0.0072) and lower concentrations of IL-12(p70) (p = 0.0054) and IL-17 (p = 0.032) were observed in TB+HIV+ patients as compared to TB+HIV− patients. This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and tuberculosis.
