Tuberculous pleuritis (TB) provides a good model to study the correlates of protective immune response at the site of infection. To study the in vivo correlates of immunity, cell subset profile and cytokine assay in plasma (BL) and pleural fluid (PF) of 82 patients were done. Lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine response to mycobacterial antigens were measured in 32 subjects to understand the in vitro correlates. Increase in CD4þ cells and CD4þ/CD8þ ratio with selective concentration of interferon (IFN)-Q, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-K and interleukin (IL)-12 in PF suggests that the CD4þ population may be of TH1 type. We observed an accelerated lymphoproliferative response to purified protein derivative (PPD) and heat killed Mycobact...
