As illustrated in Figure 1A, the levels of type 1 cytokines were substantially elevated in the TB-PDM group (IFN-γ: TB-PDM-median, 189.2 pg/ml; IQR, 177.6-200.5 pg/ml Vs TB, median 119.5 pg/ml; IQR, 105.0-142.5 pg/ml Vs PDM, median 101.8 pg/ml; IQR, 83.08-113.3 pg/ml: p<0.0001) compared to those with only TB or PDM. The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is tuberculosis.
