We report a case of tuberculous arthritis in which the diagnosis was aided by lymphocyte proliferation assay to a panel of bacterial antigens. It illustrates that the lymphocyte proliferation assay may be a useful diagnostic tool in patients with tuberculous and reactive arthritis. It also supports the notion that there is a selective accumulation of antigen specific T cells at the site of inflammation in both septic and reactive arthritides.
我们报告一例结核性关节炎病例，其中通过针对一组细菌抗原的淋巴细胞增殖试验辅助进行了诊断。这表明淋巴细胞增殖试验可能是结核性关节炎和反应性关节炎患者有用的诊断工具。这也支持了在脓毒性关节炎和反应性关节炎中，抗原特异性T细胞在炎症部位选择性积聚的观点。
