A multicenter cross-sectional diagnostic study was carried out including 45 children with nontuberculous mycobacterial cervicofacial lymphadenitis and controls. The tested immunoassay, detecting M. avium- specific anti-glycopeptidolipid-core immunoglobulin A antibodies, had inadequate diagnostic performance in the studied population and seems to be of no additional value in detecting cases of nontuberculous mycobacterial cervicofacial lymphadenitis.
开展了一项多中心横断面诊断研究,纳入了45例非结核分枝杆菌颈面部淋巴结炎患儿及对照。所检测的免疫测定法用于检测鸟分枝杆菌特异性抗糖脂核心免疫球蛋白A抗体,在研究人群中诊断性能不足,在检测非结核分枝杆菌颈面部淋巴结炎病例方面似乎没有额外价值。
