Antigen-Specific IFN-[gamma] Responses Correlate with the Activity of M. tuberculosis Infection but Are Not Associated with the Severity of Tuberculosis Disease

In the structure of tuberculosis among newly detected patients with preserved sensitivity the destructive and advanced processes occurred predominantly in form of infiltrative pulmonary TB (ITL) (86.3%); while caseous pneumonia (Cas.pn.) occurred in 7.7%, tuberculosis pleurisy (TP) and focal TB--in 4% and 20% respectively.
