Leprosy and the serodiagnostic test for tuberculosis.
Sera from patients with leprosy agglutinated killed H37Rv Mycobacterium tuberculosis to varying degrees. Higher titres were found in association with active disease but there was no difference between patients at the lepromatous or at the tuberculoid ends of the clinical scale. A sharp rise in titre occurred during the active phase of an episode of erythema nodosum leprosum.

متن کاملELISA for toxoplasma antibody detection: a comparison with other serodiagnostic tests.
An ELISA method was developed for the measurement of toxoplasma IgG antibodies in human serum using antigen-coated polystyrene beads as a solid phase and anti human IgG-horse radish peroxidase conjugate as an enzymatic tracer. In order to assess ELISA sensitivity and specificity, a between methods comparison was made using 'conventional' serological tests as reference (dye-test, crossover-linke...
متن کاملSerological tests in 150 cases of leprosy.
Hansen's disease is considered to be one of the well-known infections which upset serological tests for syphilis in patients in whom there has been no past or current treponemal infection. The reason why lepers are biological false positive (B.F.P.) reactors and why this failure in the specificity of lipoidal reactions occurs remains obscure. The frequency of false positive reactions is said to...
