From: C-reactive protein, Neopterin and Beta2 microglobulin levels pre and post TB treatment in The Gambia
Differential levels of activation markers depending on the strain of infection. Plasma from adult TB cases was assessed by ELISA for levels of C-reactive protein (a), Neopterin (b) and Beta2-microglobulin (c) before and after initiation of TB therapy. The strain of infection was determined using spoligotyping. Maf = Mycobacterium africanum; Mtb = Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensu stricto. n = 29 for both groups. Bar indicates median. Data were analysed using Wilcoxon ranked sums test within groups and Mann-Whitney U-test between groups
