Imbalances Between Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Its Soluble Receptor Forms, and Interleukin-1β and Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist in BAL Fluid of Cavitary Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Objectives: We investigated the possibility that the large pulmonary cavity in tuberculosis (TB) lesions might result from imbalances between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and soluble TNF-α receptor forms (sTNF-RI and sTNF-RII), and interleukin-β (IL-1β) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA)...
