In support of the results in mod-sev TB, findings comparing anemic to non-anemic TB patients suggested that the immunomodulatory cytokines IL-11 (p<0.03) and IL-19 (p<0.04) were higher in TB patients with anemia, and IL-2 (p<0.006), MCP-1 (p<0.03) as well as IL-13 (p<0.009) were elevated in non-anemic disease (Figures 6P-T). Here, IL11 is linked to anemia.
