In this case series, we describe four cases in which the use of gamma interferon release assays with purified protein derivative (PPD) as a stimulating antigen was able to demonstrate PPD-specific immune activation. This may help to improve the adequate diagnosis of (systemic) Mycobacterium bovis BCG infections after intravesical BCG instillations for bladder carcinoma.
在本病例系列中,我们描述了4例病例,其中使用以纯化蛋白衍生物(PPD)作为刺激抗原的γ干扰素释放试验能够证明PPD特异性免疫激活。这可能有助于改善膀胱癌膀胱内卡介苗灌注后(全身性)牛分枝杆菌卡介苗感染的准确诊断。
