摘要: Background Measures of bacillary load in patients with tuberculosis (TB) may be useful for predicting and monitoring response to treatment. The relationship between quantitative T-cell responses mycobacterial remains unclear. We hypothesised that, a HIV-prevalent high burden setting, the magnitude antigen-specific non-specific IFN-γ would correlate (a) bacterial (b) culture conversion undergoing
