Systemic and in vitro Th22 response induced by M. tuberculosis strains was explored in TB patients. In MDR‐TB patients, Th22 response was dependent on the bacillary load and the severity of lung lesions. Thus, this response could be influencing the ability of MDR‐TB patients to control bacillary growth and tissue damage.
