Abstract
A state of hyporesponsiveness that resembles the concept of immunoparalysis in severe infection was observed in children with milder infections. Though IP-10, IL-2, IL-5 and IL-13 were confirmed as promising alternative biomarkers for discriminating controls with and without tuberculosis in this study, defective induction of these biomarkers by phytohemagglutinin in cases precluded their usefulness in overcoming quantiferon indeterminate results in the above-mentioned clinical conditions.
