Improved serodiagnosis of tuberculosis using two assay test.
An antigen capture immunoassay was developed for the detection of mycobacterial antigens in sera from patients with tuberculosis. The assay was evaluated together with an antibody measuring enzyme immunoassay in a clinical trial for serodiagnosis of tuberculosis. Sensitivity of the antibody assay for active pulmonary tuberculosis, including relapsed infections, was 75%, and specificity with oth...
متن کاملEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 5 and PPD for the serodiagnosis of tuberculosis.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) of immunoglobulin G antibody to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 5 and tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) were assessed for the serodiagnosis of tuberculosis in 41 patients with active tuberculosis, 19 patients with inactive tuberculosis, and 59 healthy control subjects. Patients with active tuberculosis were studied serially at monthly int...
متن کاملSerodiagnosis of tuberculosis.
In the developing countries, which have the majority of the world's population, tuberculosis is one of the most important infectious diseases, causing illness and death on a very large scale. In these counlries there ha<; been little or no decline of this disease during recent years and improved conlrol programmes and case identification are therefore imperative. In the developed countries tube...
متن کاملOpportunities for Improved Serodiagnosis of Human Tuberculosis, Bovine Tuberculosis, and Paratuberculosis
Mycobacterial infections-tuberculosis (TB), bovine tuberculosis (bTB), and Johne's disease (JD)-are major infectious diseases of both human and animals. Methods presently in use for diagnosis of mycobacterial infections include bacterial culture, nucleic acid amplification, tuberculin skin test, interferon-γ assay, and serology. Serological tests have several advantages over other methods, incl...
متن کاملSerodiagnosis of Chagas' disease by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using two synthetic peptides as antigens.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for detecting antibodies against Trypanosoma cruzi. Two synthetic T. cruzi peptides, TcD and PEP2, were used. The specificity and sensitivity of the peptide ELISA were determined with 260 serum samples from individuals living in an area in which Chagas' disease is endemic. ELISAs were performed with the peptides singly or in combination...
