Pulmonary tuberculosis is a common problem in all age groups in our country. Different tests are performed for diagnosis of this disease. This study was carried out with an objective to compare Mantoux's test with diagnostic BCG in pediatric patients known to have pulmonary tuberculosis.
This study was conducted on one hundred children of either sex, age up to 15 years, suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. Mantoux's test and diagnostic BCG test were carried out on each patient simultaneously. Response of the patient to each test was recorded on a proforma. Both the tests were compared regarding their positivity.
Both Mantoux's and BCG tests were found negative in about 26% cases, and positive in about 40% cases. BCG alone was positive in 34% cases in which Mantoux's test was negative.
It is concluded that in paediatric age group, diagnostic BCG test has a definite edge over Mantoux's test in diagnosis of tuberculosis.
肺结核在我国所有年龄组中都是一个常见问题。针对该疾病的诊断会进行不同的检测。本研究旨在比较结核菌素试验与诊断性卡介苗试验在已知患有肺结核的儿科患者中的情况。
本研究针对100名年龄在15岁及以下、患有肺结核的儿童进行，无论性别。对每位患者同时进行结核菌素试验和诊断性卡介苗试验。在一份表格上记录患者对每项检测的反应。比较两项检测的阳性率。
结核菌素试验和卡介苗试验在约26%的病例中均为阴性，在约40%的病例中均为阳性。在结核菌素试验为阴性的病例中，单独卡介苗试验阳性的占34%。
得出结论，在儿科年龄组中，诊断性卡介苗试验在结核病诊断方面比结核菌素试验具有明显优势。
