Mycobacteria and sarcoidosis.
Background. Acid fast cell wall deficient forms (CWDF) of bacteria have been grown from blood, bronchial washings, and ocular anterior chamber fluid from patients with sarcoidosis. A monoclonal antibody raised against Mycobacterium tuberculosis whole cell antigen (H37RV) was used to characterise further CWDF grown from the blood of patients with sarcoidosis. Methods. Blood from 20 patients with...
متن کاملFrom mycobacteria to sarcoidosis--is the gate still open?
ciation between mycobacteria and sarcoidosis, and it has been hypothesized that sarcoidosis could be a separate manifestation of infection with mycobacteria. Therefore, most studies of a possible causal microoganism have focused on mycobacteria. Mycobacteria are ubiquitous all over the world with reservoirs in humans, animals, water and soil. Besides the usual forms, mycobacteria may exist in o...
متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacteria species in cutaneous lesions of Sarcoidosis by PCR-Restriction Ragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method
Background: Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous multisystem disease of unknown etiology. It has recently been tired to detect Mycobacteria genome in biopsy specimens of patients with sarcoidosis by Polymorphism chain reaction method. Objective: To detect and identify Mycobacteria species in cutaneous lesions of the patients with sarcoidosis by PCR-RFLP. Patients and methods: 20 patients with clinica...
متن کاملAbsence of DNA from mycobacteria of the M. tuberculosis complex in sarcoidosis.
To evaluate the role of mycobacterial infection in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis, several groups have attempted to identify mycobacterial DNA in clinical samples from these patients by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), but widely divergent results have been obtained. It has been suggested that differences in the sensitivity of the procedures used may explain these discrepant results. To test t...
متن کاملMolecular evidence for the role of mycobacteria in sarcoidosis: a meta-analysis.
The aetiology of sarcoidosis is currently unknown. Due to the clinical and histological similarities between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, the role of mycobacteria has been repeatedly investigated as an aetiological agent for sarcoidosis. The current meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the available molecular evidence on the possible role of mycobacteria in the development of sarcoidosis. The MEDLI...
