摘要: Background It is suggested that interleukin (IL)-13 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta play a role in the pulmonary vascular changes found animal models of schistosomiasis. The aim this study was to assess compare serum levels total TGF-beta IL-13 patients with schistosomiasis arterial hypertension (PAH) without PAH.
