Data of a transversal research on 36 suspected tuberculosis (tb) inpatients of St. Luigi Hospital are reported. Serum antimycobacterial antibodies Class IgG to A60 were measured by means of ELISA. Final diagnosis was tb in 19 subjects, while 9 had a tb history over different years. Sensitivity was 78.94% and specificity 75%. According to with other recent reports, our results are poorly discriminating. However, the test, if valued with other clinical data, can contribute to the ascertainment of tb.
报告了对圣路易吉医院36名疑似结核病住院患者的横向研究数据。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法测量血清中针对A60的抗分枝杆菌IgG类抗体。最终诊断为19名受试者患有结核病，而9名受试者在不同年份有结核病病史。敏感性为78.94%，特异性为75%。与其他近期报告相比，我们的结果鉴别能力较差。然而，如果结合其他临床数据评估该检测，可有助于结核病的确诊。
