Lymphocyte apoptosis in children with central nervous system tuberculosis

Background Progress in our understanding of the apoptosis mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis suggests that Mycobacterium tuberculosis can actively interfere with the apoptosis of infected cells. In vivo studies have been performed in adult populations but have not focused on the process in children. In the present study, we analyze spontaneous T-lymphocyte (PBT) apoptosis i...

Lymphocyte apoptosis in children with central nervous system tuberculosis: a case control study

BACKGROUND Studies of the apoptosis mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis have suggested that Mycobacterium tuberculosis can actively interfere with the apoptosis of infected cells. In vivo studies have been performed in adult populations but have not focused on this process in children. In the present study, we analyzed spontaneous T lymphocyte (PBT) apoptosis in the peripher...
