The results of the comparison of healthy controls and TB subjects showed that in the Asian population, the serum IL-4 level in patients with TB was higher than that in controls (SMD = 0.887, [95% CI, 0.202 to −1.573]) and patients with active TB as well as people with pulmonary TB showed increased serum IL-4 levels compared to controls (SMD = 0.689, [95% CI, 0.152–1.226]). The gene discussed is IL4; the disease is tuberculosis.
