GPT and tuberculosis: All indices of liver function, including ALT, AST, TB, DB, CHE, ALP, and GGT, did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) between EBV-infected and -non-infected patients; however, the albumin level was lower in EBV-infected patients (30.92 ± weve1 g/L) than non-infected patients (33.65 ± 5.199 g/L); this difference was statistically significant (P = 0.019).
