The effects levofloxacin (fluoroquinolone) and vaccinal BCG strain on cytokine production by blood mononuclear leukocytes was studied in patients with infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis. Combined treatment with levofloxacin and vaccinal BCG strain suppressed the production of TNFα in drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis and production of IL-12 and IFNγ in drug-sensitive tuberculosis.
