Background: Tuberculosis is still one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity in many countries and is the second only to human immunodeficiency virus as a cause of death worldwide resulting from a single infectious agent. In 1993, the World Health Organization declared tuberculosis a global public health emergency. Conven-tional methods for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberc...
متن کاملImpact of the Mycobaterium africanum West Africa 2 Lineage on TB Diagnostics in West Africa: Decreased Sensitivity of Rapid Identification Tests in The Gambia
BACKGROUND MPT64 rapid speciation tests are increasingly being used in diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Mycobacterium africanum West Africa 2 (Maf 2) remains an important cause of TB in West Africa and causes one third of disease in The Gambia. Since the introduction of MPT64 antigen tests, a higher than expected rate of suspected non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) was seen among AFB smear posit...
متن کاملCorrelation of molecular and conventional methods of diagnosis in tuberculous lymphadenitis
Methods Sixty lymph node aspirates from suspected cases of tuberculous lymphadenitis were examined for Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Ziehl neelsen (ZN) staining, culture on a Lowenstein Jensen medium, and cytological examination for findings suggestive of tubercular lymphadenitis. DNA from all the samples was amplified by conventional PCR targeting 123 bp and 240 bp fragments of IS6110 and MPT6...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical diagnosis of abdominal and lymph node tuberculosis by detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex specific antigen MPT64
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of immunohistochemistry using an antibody to the secreted mycobacterial antigen MPT64, in abdominal and lymph node tuberculosis. METHODS We used formalin-fixed histologically diagnosed abdominal tuberculosis (n = 33) and cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis (n = 120) biopsies. These were investigated using a combination o...

OBJECTIVE To identify T helper 1 (Th1)-cell stimulating and HLA-promiscuous peptides of MPT64 (Rv1980c), a major secreted antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from 35 healthy subjects and typed for HLA-DR molecules using genomic methods. To identify subjects infected with M. tuberculosis, PBMCs were tested in ant...
