Filarial Coinfection Is Associated With Higher Bacterial Burdens and Altered Plasma Cytokine and Chemokine Responses in Tuberculous Lymphadenitis
Filarial infections are known to modulate cytokine responses in pulmonary tuberculosis by their propensity to induce Type 2 and regulatory cytokines. However, very little is known about the effect of filarial infections on extra-pulmonary forms of tuberculosis. Thus, we have examined the effect of f...
