Abstract
Measurement of serum IgG antibody to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 5 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was evaluated as a serodiagnostic test for pulmonary tuberculosis in China. The test was 89% sensitive and 94 to 100% specific with high accuracies of prediction. Among 82 tuberculosis patients, antibody titer was related to the extent of pulmonary disease. Among control subjects, false positive tests were encountered among 5 of 52 persons with other pulmonary disease and not among 30 healthy subjects. The characteristics of this test compare favorably with those reported for sputum smear examination.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
