The associations of proportions of CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs with the demographic and clinical characteristics of active pulmonary TB patients were evaluated, and the correlation between PD-1/PD-L1 expression and proportions of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD127low Tregs was examined among patients with active pulmonary TB using Pearson correlation analysis. Here, CD4 is linked to pulmonary tuberculosis.
