In this analysis, the frequency and the numbers of CD16/CD56+ cells were higher in TBP with no destruction compared to TBP with medium degree of pulmonary destruction (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01, Figure 4 and data not shown); the numbers of CD4+ cells were higher in TBP with low clinical TB severity compared to TBP with medium degree of clinical TB severity (p = 0.01, Figure 4). This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and tuberculosis.
