Cytomegalovirus infection is a risk factor for TB disease in Infants

2017-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Immune activation is associated with increased risk of tuberculosis (TB) disease in infants. We performed a case-control analysis to identify drivers of immune activation and disease risk. Among 49 infants who developed TB disease over the first two years of life, and 129 matched controls who remained healthy, we found the cytomegalovirus (CMV) stimulated IFN-γ response at age 4-6 months to be a...
