AB  - Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a novel cytokine mainly produced by activated 
      macrophages. IL-18 was originally called interferon-gamma inducing factor, due to 
      its action in inducing IFN-gamma secretion from Th1 cells, NK cells and NKT 
      cells. It has been reported that IL-18 may play important roles in various 
      diseases including cancer and infectious diseases. This review deals with the 
      roles of IL-18 in infectious diseases, with special emphasis on IL-18 in 
      infectious diseases caused by intracellular pathogens including Mycobacterium 
      tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella 
      typhimurium.
