Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which establishes intracellular parasitism in phagosomes of macrophages as initial infection sites. When host immune system recognizes the bacteria, anti-mycobacterial immunity is activated by various cytokines including interleukins, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma. The cytokines form a network of co-operative action and mutual regulation. In this review, role of the network of interleukins and cytokines in protection against pulmonary tuberculosis will be discussed.
