Malnutrition predisposes to tuberculosis, and tuberculosis causes 'consumption'. Starting
from current advances and historic findings in epidemiology and immunology, we can hope …

Protective immunity against mycobacterial infections such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis is
mediated by interactions between specific T cells and activated antigen presenting cells. To …

Monitoring the efficacy of antituberculosis therapy is crucial both for the individual patient
and for better control of the spread of tuberculosis. We studied 18 patients with …

An effective immune response against the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium
tuberculosis is strictly dependent on T cell activation. Although this protective response …

A more complete understanding of cytokine dynamics in individual cells in active pulmonary
tuberculosis patients will provide further knowledge about immunopathogenesis and …

CD8 T-cells contribute to control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, but little is known
about the quality of the CD8 T-cell response in subjects with latent infection and in patients …

The roles of multifunctional CD4 T cells in human tuberculosis are not well defined. In this
study, we found that patients with tuberculosis had decreased PMA/ionomycin stimulated …

Studies of the immune response at the site of disease in extra-pulmonary tuberculosis
(EPTB) disease are scarce. In this study, we compared the cellular profile of Mycobacterium …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects one-third of the global population and claims two million
