From: The diagnostic accuracy of Th1 (IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10) cytokines response in AFB microscopy smear negative PTB- HIV co-infected patients

Predictive power of Th1 cytokines, Th2 cytokines and T-cells (CD4, and CD8) on PTB culture status among AFB microscopy smear negative. The model included IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL2, IL6, IL10, CD4 (<200 vs. ≥200), and CD8 (<1000 vs. ≥1000), but IL4 was eliminated due to inherent multicollinearity measured using variance inflation factor that was >5 units.
