Elevated circulating levels of MMPs in TB-DM individuals. (a) The plasma levels of MMPs were measured in TB-DM (n = 64), TB (n = 24) and HC (n = 24) individuals at baseline. The data are represented as scatter plots with each circle representing a single individual. P values were calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s post-hoc for multiple comparisons (b) The plasma levels of MMPs were measured in TB-DM individuals at baseline (pre-T) and at 6 months of ATT (post-T). The data are presented as line graphs with each line representing a single individual. P values were calculated using the Wilcoxon signed rank test
