In TB+ women, levels of three proinflammatory cytokines, IL-2, IP-10, and MCP-2, were higher postpartum than at 1st/2nd (IL-2: 5 pg/mL versus 2 pg/mL, P = 0.0021; IP-10: 331 pg/mL versus 76 pg/mL, P = 0.0001; and MCP-2: 80 pg/mL versus 45 pg/mL, P = 0.0001) and 3rd trimester (IL-2: 5 pg/mL versus 2 pg/mL, P = 0.0261; IP-10: 331 pg/mL versus 138 pg/mL, P = 0.007; and MCP-2: 80 pg/mL versus 47 pg/mL, P = 0.0001). Here, IL2 is linked to tuberculosis.
