| Popis: | Introduction: Majority of the currently used diagnostic tests for Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) have variability in sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing PTB. Therefore, evaluating new biomarkers in easily obtainable samples like serum and saliva can contribute to the diagnosis of PTB. Aim: To evaluate the role of Interleukins(IL)- 2,5,6,16,17,1β in the diagnosis of PTB by comparing their levels in Other Respiratory Diseases (ORD) group and monitoring the response to treatment in PTB group. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted between January 2021 to May 2022 in a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi, India. A total of 80 cases were taken of which 40 cases of PTB and 40 cases having diagnosis of ORD were studied. IL-2,5,6,16,17,1β levels were measured in saliva and serum using Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA) kits. These IL were also measured in diagnosed PTB patients in serum and saliva after two months of treatment. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. Kruskal Wallis H Test, Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test, Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were applied at appropriate areas and a p-value |
