Purified protein derivative reaction is not augmented in Behçet's syndrome patients.
The findings of this study, taken alongside our previous work, suggest that the association between gout and OA is mediated by local mechanical factors rather than systemic or genetic factors.
متن کاملPurified Protein Derivative--PPD.
A 55-year-old physician had a PPD made as part of a clinical evaluation. Laboratory tests were unremarkable and PPD, read in 48 hours, showed an area of induration of 18 mm and an erythema of 51 mm (Panel A). A 2 mm punch biopsy was done in the center of the induration 96 hours after the injection. Histopathology showed an intense perivascular cuffing with macrophages and lymphocytes and edema ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Immunological Parameters in Purified Protein Derivative Positive Tuberculin Workers
Objective(s): According to the occupationally risk of infection in staff workers who have direct contact with mycobacterium species, we investigated their immunological parameters and compared with healthy purified protein derivative (PPD) negative volunteers. Materials and Methods : We investigated 20 PPD positive volunteers working at Tuberculin Unit of Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Ins...
متن کاملSarcoidosis and Purified Protein Derivative reactivity.
BACKGROUND The possible association between (tuberculous and nontuberculous) mycobacterial infections and sarcoidosis is still a matter of dispute. Using diagnostic tests for specific T-cell responses, this association can be investigated in an innovative manner. OBJECTIVE To measure the T-cell responsiveness to the purified protein derivative (PPD) antigen in blood and broncho-alveolar lavag...
