Much effort has been devoted to the identification of immunologically important factors in tuberculous pleurisy (TBP) and malignant pleurisy (MP) to improve the differential diagnosis of the two major causes of lymphocyte-dominant pleurisy. This study evaluated the immunoreactivity and potential diagnostic utility of both host (cytokines and chemokines) and pathogen (mycobacteriat proteins) factors in pleural effusions. Effusion samples were collected from 41 patients with MP caused by lung cancer and from 81 patients with TBP. The concentrations of nine cytokines and chemokines (interleukin (IL)-12 p40, interferon (IFN)-gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, IL-6, IL-10, CXCL8/IL-8, CXCL10/IP-10, CCL3/MIP-1 alpha, and CCL4/MIP-1 beta) and antibody responses (IgG, IgM, and IgA) against five Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens (early secreted antigenic target (ESAT)-6, 30-kDa, MTB12, 38-kDa, and a heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA)) were determined in pleural fluids using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). In the logistic regression, IFN-gamma (odds ratio, 7.178; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.258-22.817; p = 0.001), IL-12 p40 (odds ratio, 11.037; 95% CI, 3.38-36.037; p
