Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), infects
the lungs' alveolar surfaces through aerosol droplets. At this stage, the disease progression may
have many consequences, determined primarily by the reactions of the human immune system. However,
one approach will be to more actively integrate the immune system, especially the pattern recognition
receptor (PRR) systems of the host, which notices pathogen-associated molecular patterns
(PAMPs) of Mtb. Several types of PRRs are involved in the detection of Mtb, including Toll-like receptors
(TLRs), C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), Dendritic cell (DC) -specific intercellular adhesion
molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN), Mannose receptor (MR), and NOD-like receptors
(NLRs) related to inflammasome activation. In this study, we focus on reviewing the Mtb pathophysiology
and interaction of host PPRs with Mtb as well as adverse drug effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs
(ATDs) and systematic TB treatment via Ayurvedic medicine.
Keywords:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, toll-like receptor, pattern recognition receptor, ayurvedic medicine, anti-tuberculosis drugs.
