Table 2 Absolute cells count in peripheral blood at basal, 2 m and 6 m of anti-TB therapy

From: Anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy alters TNFR2 expression on CD4+ lymphocytes in both drug-sensitive and -resistant tuberculosis: however, only drug-resistant tuberculosis maintains a pro-inflammatory profile after a long time
