The age of patients was between 14 - <80 years and (88) individuals regarded as control group without any pulmonary problems, the maximum number of tuberculosis patients was recorded for the age (20-29) years were 23 (26.1 %), followed by the age (30-39) years were 16 (18.2 %), while the age (40-49) years 14 (15.9%), closely with the age (10-19) years 13 (14.8%) and then the age (50-59) years 12 (13.6%), less number of cases for tuberculosis patients observed at the age (>60) years were 10 (11.4%) from total study cases. The immuonological study shown that the mean concentration of TLRs in TB patients as follows: the TLR2 was (0.65 ±0.27) (ng/ml), while in TLR4 was (3.19 ± 1.78) (ng\ml), and the TLR9 was (1.92 ± 1.06), the differences were highly-significant (P-value= 0.00). The levels of TLR2, TLR4 and TLR9 with age group (Yrs.) with (r = 0.07, 0.01, 0.14), respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
