LTA and lymph node tuberculosis: While it was possible to use simple single cytokine cutoffs to separate the LNTB, HC, and PTB groups in both cohorts, non-tuberculous lymphadenopathy posed a more complex challenge, multinomial modelling was therefore done using these three biomarkers (IL- 8, IL- 10 and TNF-β) to be able to differentiate between the different classes of studied LAP as compared to LNTB.
