  • Title: [The determination of the specific sensitization of the peripheral blood leukocytes in pulmonary tuberculosis patients].
    Author: Samillo GK, Garina NI.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1989; (12):51-3. PubMed ID: 2628977.
    Abstract:
    The results of testing blood specimens from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with the method of diagnosing specific sensitization of leukocytes according to V. A. Fradkin and the method modified by the author are compared. Inhibition of the phagocytic activity of blood neutrophils in response to tuberculin was estimated with the routine procedure. BCG vaccine was used as the test culture. The proposed method revealed the neutrophil sensitization in 88.4 per cent of the patients with infiltrative tuberculosis of the lungs of 6-month duration. With the Fradkin method, the neutrophil sensitization was detected in 77 per cent of the same patients.
