Host Immune Responses Differ between M. africanum- and M. tuberculosis-Infected Patients following Standard Anti-tuberculosis Treatment (original) (raw)
Fig 1
Kinetics of the clinical outcomes in Maf- and _Mtb_-infected patients following treatment.
Line plots show the predicted mean and its 95% CI of Log transformed Body Mass Index (BMI) and Skinfold Thickness (SFT) in Maf- and _Mtb_-infected groups at 0, 2 and 6 months of treatment, Chest X-ray (CXR) was not Log transformed. Wald test through contrasts analysis following a random-intercept model adjusted for age, sex and ethnicity was used to assess interaction between lineage group and time point on clinical response. Maf group (dashed lines) and Mtb group (solid lines) respectively. P-values of the interactions are shown.
