  • Title: [Antituberculosis antibodies in patients with tuberculosis during chemotherapy].
    Author: Stakhanov VA, Vasil'ev NA, Levi DT, Rukhamina ML.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 2001; (5):48-50. PubMed ID: 11588965.
    Abstract:
    Enzyme immunoassay of the titer of antituberculosis antibodies (ATAb) from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis has indicated that their levels depend on the different characteristics of a specific process: the form of active tuberculosis, the extent of changes in the lung tissue, the presence of destruction and bacterial isolation, the type of specific inflammatory reaction, and the duration of the treatment performed. Whether there was a correlation of ATAb titers with skin tuberculin sensitivity the level was studied by the Mantoux test using 2 TE PPD-L. The time course of changes in ATAb titers in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis during the routine chemotherapy was analyzed.
