Here, in a post hoc analysis, we describe the association of anemia and blood Hb levels to the clinical TB score and select baseline variables including BMI, MUAC, vitD3, ESR, CD4, and CD8 T cell counts, as well as systemic levels of the T-cell-produced Th1 cytokine IFN-γ and pro-inflammatory IL-6. Here, IL6 is linked to anemia.
