We assessed for the influence of HIV on MTB specific IP-10 responses in the active TB cases and found that there was no significant difference in MTB specific IP-10 levels between the TB cases with HIV infection (mean (95%CI)) 10,631.2 pg/ml (3,934.6–17,327.7) or without HIV infection 13,607.1 pg/ml (12,104–15,110.1) (Mann-Whitney U test, p = 0.15). Here, CXCL10 is linked to tuberculosis.
