Abstract
In conclusion, increased PMA during TB infection is caused by monocyte and not platelet activation. By counteracting the Mtb-induced pro-inflammatory leukocyte response, platelets may protect against excessive tissue damage, but may also compromise the production of protective cytokines, such as IFNƴ and TNFα.
