Serum responses against Mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP16 were determined for children with tuberculosis (TB) and for healthy purified protein derivative (PPD)-positive and PPD-negative children. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM responses were higher for TB patients than for other groups. After chemotherapy, IgM and IgG responses decreased for TB patients and PPD-positive subjects. Monitoring of anti-M. tuberculosis HSP16 responses could assist in the management of pediatric TB.
对患有结核病(TB)的儿童以及健康的纯化蛋白衍生物(PPD)阳性和PPD阴性儿童测定了针对结核分枝杆菌HSP16的血清反应。结核病患者的免疫球蛋白G(IgG)和IgM反应高于其他组。化疗后,结核病患者和PPD阳性受试者的IgM和IgG反应下降。监测抗结核分枝杆菌HSP16反应有助于儿童结核病的管理。
