mRNA profiling of PBMCs and sputum cell samples from TB and TB-DM patients. Quantitative mRNA expression of CD4, CD8, IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-10 in PBMCs (a-e) and sputum cell samples (f-j) from TB (n = 7) and TB-DM (n = 15) patients were analyzed at enrolment and after 1 and 2 months of anti-TB treatment. Data is presented as median values and statistical differences between the TB and TB-DM group were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U-tests, and *p < 0.05 was considered significant. Note that mRNA data is presented in dot-plot graphs with a log-scale, while the statistical analyses were performed on non-transformed data. PBMCs: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells
