CD8A and tuberculosis: Absolute counts of naive CD8+ T cells differed significantly between groups at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 39 (p = 0.015, p = 0.014, p = 0.013, p = 0.022, 0.055, and p = 0.021, respectively; Kruskal-Wallis test), with significantly greater counts in the TB IRIS group than the Other IRIS and No IRIS groups at weeks 0 (p = 0.028 and p = 0.005, respectively), 4 (p = 0.014 and p = 0.005, respectively), 8 (p = 0.013 and p = 0.005, respectively), 12 (p = 0.02 and p = 0.014, respectively), 24 (p = 0.005 and p = 0.003, respectively) and 39 (p = 0.017 and p = 0.011, respectively) (Figure 1A).
