Circulating immune complexes (CIC) were assayed in 100 cases of tuberculosis and 30 age matched control children. The estimation was done by PEG assay before the commencement of antitubercular therapy. CIC were present in only 3.3% of the control children as compared to 68% of children with tuberculosis. The presence of CIC was observed to vary with the type of tuberculosis. The percentage positivity was highest (100%) in children with miliary tuberculosis. Subsequent estimation of CIC done after one and three months of antitubercular therapy showed a marked decrease in the percentage of positive cases (6.1 and zero percent respectively).
对100例结核病患儿和30例年龄匹配的对照儿童进行了循环免疫复合物（CIC）检测。在开始抗结核治疗前，通过聚乙二醇（PEG）试验进行评估。对照儿童中仅有3.3%存在CIC，而结核病患儿中这一比例为68%。观察到CIC的存在因结核病类型而异。粟粒性结核病患儿的阳性率最高（100%）。在抗结核治疗1个月和3个月后进行的CIC后续检测显示，阳性病例的百分比显著下降（分别为6.1%和0%）。
