Abstract:

The occurrence, development and prognosis of tuberculosis (TB) are closely related to anti-TB immune function. TB patients often have anti-TB immune function abnormalities, the immune intervention using immune agents can improve the cure rate and reduced the recurrence rate. However, there is no consensus on the immune intervention and selection of immune agents for active TB. Expert consensus on immune function assessment and immunotherapy in patients with active tuberculosis (2021 Edition) published in No.1 of 2022 in Chinese Journal of Antituberculosis proposed specific suggestions and reached consensus on anti-TB immunotherapy. The factors of immune abnormality in TB patients, the concept of immunoadjuvant therapy for active TB, the clinical application of the immune intervention were further interpreted in this paper, to provide the reference of TB clinical workers in China.
