Restoration of Mtb specific IFN-γ (pg/ml) response overtime after the start of HAART and TB treatment. Level of IFN-γ (pg/ml) was measured at baseline (M0), and at six (M6) and M18 of treatment in 7th day culture supernatants of whole blood stimulated with Mtb specific (ESAT-6/CFP-10) antigen. HIV + TB+: HIV patients with TB (continuous line); HIV-TB: HIV negative TB patients (long-dash line); HIV + TST+: HIV positive tuberculin skin test (TST) positive patients (dot line); HIV-TST+: HIV negative TST positive individuals (square dot); and Controls (HIV-TST-) (circle dot). Mean of IFN-γ (pg/ml) with standard deviation per follow-up visit are shown on the line graph; n = number of participants per visit shown on the legend.
