SPSS for Windows, Version 17.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences, Chicago, IL, USA) was used for statistical analyses. The chi-square test was used to analyze the data of the genotype frequencies among the different groups. The risk of disease associated with MBL2 genotype was estimated using the calculation of odds ratios with 95% of confidence interval(CI). Serum MBL levels in the TB/healthy control group were analyzed by t test. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the MBL levels among the MBL2 diplotype-based groups. The association between the MBL2 polymorphisms and serum MBL levels was analyzed using a multiple regression model. A P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
