Description
In conclusion, our results suggest that increased levels of IL-37 in patients with TB are associated with IFN-γ, IL-12, IL-10 and TGF-β levels and that IL-37 plays a pathological role in TB infection by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inducing macrophages towards an M2-like phenotype.
