Helminth Coinfection Is Associated With Enhanced Plasma Levels of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases in Tuberculous Lymphadenitis

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are crucial for tissue remodeling and repair and are expressed in diverse infections, whereas tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are endogenous inhibitors of MMPs. However, the interaction of MMPs and TIMPs in tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBL), an extra-pu...
