Challenges idea that IL-6 plays essential role in immunity to Mtb, and suggests IL-6 drives immunopathology
Great use of data from ITHGC

I remain a unclear whether households were enumerated before or after randomisation
Whilst the authors claim that the imbalance in cluster sizes was an 'accident', the direction is what might be expected if households had prior knowledge of treatment allocation

The RATIONS trial was an impressive undertaking
