Antibody response to antigen A60 (a mycobacterial antigen) was evaluated in ELISA in 18 HIV+ subjects with clinical and cultural evidences of mycobacterial infections, in 10 HIV+ subjects without Mycobacterial infections and in 22 healthy donors. We found higher levels of specific IgG in the HIV+ patients with Mycobacterial infections (mean 179.2 +/- 83 U) compared to the values of the donors (mean 92.5 +/- 35.5 U: p < 0.01). This test may be useful in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, but it needs clinical validation.
在酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)中,对18名有分枝杆菌感染临床及培养证据的HIV阳性受试者、10名无分枝杆菌感染的HIV阳性受试者以及22名健康供者评估了对抗原A60(一种分枝杆菌抗原)的抗体反应。我们发现,与供者的值(平均92.5±35.5 U:p<0.01)相比,有分枝杆菌感染的HIV阳性患者中特异性IgG水平更高(平均179.2±83 U)。该检测可能对结核病诊断有用,但需要临床验证。
