On the contrary, the medians of the unstimulated IL-32 (IL-32nil) and IL-32 responses to TB antigen (IL-32TB) were significantly higher in the active TB than the LTBI group (IL-32nil: active TB 1925 pg/mL, IQR 766.5–2927 pg/mL; LTBI 410.2 pg/mL, IQR 306.7–842.9 pg/mL, P < 0.001; IL-32TB: active TB 992.8 pg/mL, IQR 741.4–2132 pg/mL; LTBI 405.2 pg/mL, IQR 361.3–552.0 pg/mL, P < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene IL32 and tuberculosis.
