Distinctive Immuno-Inflammatory Pattern in Tuberculous Lymphadenitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study with Propensity Score Matching

TBL patients exhibit distinctive immunological characteristics, including lower NLR values and elevated T lymphocyte subset counts compared to other EPTB forms. These findings provide novel insights into site-specific immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, enhancing our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying different manifestations of tuberculosis.
