Evaluation of IP-10 in blood serum for TB diagnosis in patients with late-stage HIV infection

Conclusions: 1) The level of chemokine IP-10 does not depend on TB dissemination (disseminated forms of TB: 2021.39 ± 465.9 pg/ml (CI±913.16 pg/ml), limited forms: 2616.25 ± 466.7 pg/ml (CI±914.7 pg/ml), p>0.05); 2) The level of IP-10 depends on sputum positivity (sputum positive patients: 2713.02 ± 498.15 pg/ml (CI±967.3 pg/ml), and sputum negative patients: 988.01 ± 319.28 pg/ml (CI±625.8 pg/ml), P=0.012103).
