As shown in Figure 3, infection with S. stercoralis in the context of active pulmonary TB was associated with significantly lower levels of sCD14 (GM of 7.3 ng/ml in ATB vs. 4.1 ng/ml in ATB+Ss) and sCD163 (GM of 2.7 ng/ml in ATB vs. 1.9 ng/ml in ATB+Ss) - when compared to Ss-uninfected individuals with active TB. The gene discussed is CD163; the disease is infection.
