Roles of Dermcidin, Salusin- α, Salusin-β and TNF-α in the Pathogenesis of Human Brucellosis.

CONCLUSION: Dermcidin, salusin-alpha, and particularly salusin-beta levels are important in Brucella pathogenesis. The paradoxical correlation between TNF-alpha and salusin-beta in patients with brucellosis and control group is remarkable. However, there is a need for extensive studies conducted with more patients to further elucidate this topic. PMID: 31182692 [PubMed - in process]
