By performing Poisson regression in order to identify factors associated with higher DIP, we found that an increase in one unit of each DIP score was associated with 1 log increases in plasma IFN-γ (Exp(β): 1.68; 95%CI: 1.25-2.26, p=0.001) and TNF (Exp(β): 3.97; 95%CI: 1.96-8.06, p=0.001), as well as decreases in Hb levels (Exp(β): 0.01; 95%CI:0.001-0.16, p=0.001) in TB participants (Figure 3D), enabling us to identify the main markers involved in inflammatory disturbance in TB participants and, also associating low hemoglobin levels with this perturbation. This evidence concerns the gene GSTM1 and tuberculosis.
