    In order to find out the clinical significance of detection of BCG-A60 antibody by ELISA in diagnosis of tuberculosis, 734 cases of non-tuberculosis patients and 560 cases of tuberculosis has been examined. The result of A60-ELISA test for IgG as diagnosilic criteria of tuberculosis, sensitivity is 84.5%, specificity is 89.3%, It shows satisfactory effect, so it can be used as an helpful method in clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis. IgG, IgA and IgM are measured at same time, and find that a combined use of the IgG and IgM ELISA studies considerably increases the significance of the test.
