  • Title: ELISA for diagnosis of tuberculosis.
    Author: Patel AB, Rawat MS, Grover S.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 1990 Jun; 27(6):585-9. PubMed ID: 2253994.
    Abstract:
    Antigen A 60 of Mycobacterium bovis is a cell wall antigen with almost complete cross reactivity with antigen A 60 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This antigen was used for the ELISA technique for 100 cases suspected of childhood tuberculosis to evaluate the usefulness of the method in the diagnosis. The positivity rate in pulmonary tuberculosis was 65.1%, in central nervous system tuberculosis 50.0% and in the miscellaneous group 76.4%. The overall positivity was 61.0%, proving the utility of the method for diagnosis.
