Analysis of 15 systemic inflammatory factors in the plasma of pulmonary tuberculosis patients before taking anti-tuberculosis drugs found that interleukin (IL)-22 binding protein, interferon gamma-inducible protein 1, soluble CD163, IL-6 and CD206 were correlated with the occurrence of ATB-DILI and had good predictive value for ATB-DILI (Ho et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and pulmonary tuberculosis.
