Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most important causes of human mortality. Approximately one-third of the world's population is infected with TB and 5-10% of them develop the active form of the disease. Cytokines play a major role in the host defense process against Mycobacterium infections. Among these cytokines, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) has a prominent role in the defense of and pathological responses to tuberculosis.Materials and methods: A case-control study was carried out from May 2016 to June 2017. 45 patients with diagnosis of tuberculosis (smear and positive culture) were included as case group and 45 healthy subjects as control group. The serum levels of TNF-alpha were determined with the...
