CD4 T cell dysfunction is associated with bacterial recrudescence during chronic tuberculosis by Evelyn Chang, Kelly Cavallo, Samuel M. Behar

“…Single cell RNAseq shows that only a small number of CD4 T cells in the lungs of chronically infected mice are polyfunctional. While the origin and causal relationship between T-cell dysfunction and recrudescence remains uncertain, we propose T cell dysfunction leads to a feed-forward loop that causes increased bacillary numbers, greater T cell dysfunction, and progressive disease.…”
