Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can present with polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN)-predominant alveolitis. TB accelerates acquired immunodeficiency syndrome by increasing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication and mutation in alveolar macrophages. A 16-kDa CCAAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBP beta ) isoform is a strong transcriptional repressor of the HIV long terminal repeat...
