Flow chart to identify the relation between serum cytokines level and preventive treatment efficacy. A total of 12 active TB cases and 24 non-TB individuals from treated participants as well as 9 active TB cases and 18 non-TB individuals from untreated controls, paired by gender and age, were included in the present study.
