Osteopontin (OPN) expression is increased during the course of various chronic inflammatory diseases, including tuberculosis (TB). However, its prognostic value in TB management remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether OPN could associate with other cytokines serving as a reliable biomarker for evaluating the effectiveness of early anti-TB treatments.
