Thirteen patients with active bone and joint tuberculosis were investigated to determine their antibody response to Antigen 6 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis during and after treatment. The antibody titre was found to be most helpful in diagnosis and in assessing the activity of the disease after treatment was completed. There is great individual variation of the antibody level, so the use of this serological test for monitoring the response to treatment requires further investigation in a larger group of patients.
对13例活动性骨与关节结核患者进行了研究，以确定其在治疗期间及治疗后对结核分枝杆菌抗原6的抗体反应。发现抗体滴度对诊断以及评估治疗完成后疾病的活动性最有帮助。抗体水平存在很大的个体差异，因此使用这种血清学检测来监测治疗反应需要在更多患者中进一步研究。
