Possible impact of variations in some Cytokine levels during menstrual cycle in women of reproductive age infected with Pulmonary Tuberculosis at Nnewi, Nigeria'

Abstract: Objective: The second leading cause of human mortality from infectious diseases worldwide is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). This chronic infection is accompanied by prolonged cytokine production, which might affect the immuno-reproductive communication and favour the establishment of an adverse state. This was a prospective study designed to evaluate possible impact of some cytokine variations on menstrual cycle in TB infected females. Methods: A total of 90 premenopausal females aged (18-45) years were ran… Show more

“…PR helps to relieve pain in endometriosis by limiting inflammation and the growth of endometriotic tissue PPARs and retinoid X receptor alpha are expressed in abortive trophoblastic tissue and are upregulated in extra villous trophoblast in recurrent miscarriages (153,154). M. tuberculosis modulates various cytokines' milieu, such as interferon g (IFNg) and interleukin-(IL2) in the endometrium and TNFa, IL-6, IL-4, and IL-8 in the blood (155,156). Additionally, administration of IFNg, TNFa, and IL-2 is reported to cause abortions in pregnant mice (102,157,158).…”
