Acr-induced IL-17 production was higher in participants with LTBI compared to those with active TB (median [IQR] for active TB (1.00 [0.53-2.50]) and 1.30 [0.26-4.17] for LTBI; p<0.0001; Figure 6C) whereas no difference was observed following E/C or HBHA stimulation (Figure 6C). This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and tuberculosis.
