چکیده
Physical examination showed malnutrition, chronic sick look, ulcerated oral mucosa, and purulent secretion. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 34 mm/h. Tuberculosis (TB) antibody was positive. Lymphocyte count was as follows: Th cell 23.5% (normal range: 27–51%) and B-cell 2.6% (normal range: 5–18%). Interferon-γ release assays: A155 B191.
