    Author: Feĭzullaeva NA.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1999; (2):43-4. PubMed ID: 10420751.
    Abstract:
    An interaction between HLA antigens and predisposition to meningitis of specific and nonspecific etiology was studied in children and adolescents from an Azerbaijan population. The distribution of HLA antigens was found to be heterogeneous in the patients with meningitis of various etiology. Tuberculous meningitis was characterized by a significant rise in the detection rate of HLA-DR3 antigen, by a considerable frequency of B14 and DR2 antigens; patients with purulent meningitis much more significantly showed HLA-B12 antigen; in terms of locus A, there was an increase in the detection rates of HLA-A19 antigen in serous meningitis.
