  1. Mean score was calculated from 3 animals in each group. The data was represented as Mean ± SE of 3 animals in each group and the statistical significance was determined by Mann–Whitney test. *p ≤ 0.05. ns-non-significant. Group-I: latent tuberculosis only, Group-II: latent tuberculosis with diabetes and Group-III: latent tuberculosis with immunosuppression.
