In Vitro Study of the Modulatory Effects of Levofloxacin and BCG on Secretion of Proinflammatory Cytokines in Infiltrative Pulmonary Tuberculosis
The effects levofloxacin (fluoroquinolone) and vaccinal BCG strain on cytokine production by blood mononuclear leukocytes was studied in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis. Combined treatment with levofloxacin and vaccinal BCG strain suppressed the production of TNFα in drug-resistant...

Zusammenfassung: | The effects levofloxacin (fluoroquinolone) and vaccinal BCG strain on cytokine production by blood mononuclear leukocytes was studied in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis. Combined treatment with levofloxacin and vaccinal BCG strain suppressed the production of TNFα in drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis and production of IL-12 and IFNγ in drug-sensitive tuberculosis. |
