متن کاملNew synthetic lipid antigens for rapid serological diagnosis of tuberculosis
BACKGROUND During pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) antibodies are generated to trehalose esters of mycolic acids which are cell wall lipids of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Attempts have been made to use these complex natural mixtures in serological tests for PTB diagnosis. AIM The aim of this work was to determine whether a serological test based on a panel of defined individual trehalose es...
متن کاملRapid urine lipoarabinomannan assay as a clinic-based screening test for active tuberculosis at HIV diagnosis
BACKGROUND World Health Organization (WHO) recommends tuberculosis (TB) screening at HIV diagnosis. We evaluated the inclusion of rapid urine lipoarabinomannan (LAM) testing in TB screening algorithms. METHODS We enrolled ART-naïve adults who screened HIV-infected in KwaZulu-Natal, assessed TB-related symptoms (cough, fever, night sweats, weight loss), and obtained sputum specimens for mycoba...
