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 ...
screening is one of the ways to combat tuberculosis (tb) and should be mostly concentrated on groups showing some symptoms of the disease. tuberculosis can be transferred from person to person in laboratories, prisons and psychiatry hospitals. the purpose of this study was to survey pulmonary tb in patients with schizophrenia in rasht.in this descriptive-cross sectional, two hundred fifty seven...
A study on skin cross-reactivity between stabilized "4C-labeled mycobacterial antigens, namely tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD; from Mycobacterium tuberculosis), PPD-A (M. avium), PPD-Y (M. kansasii), PPD-G (M. scrofulaceum), PPD-B (M. intracellulare), and PPD-F (M. fortuitun), has been carried out in groups of guinea pigs sensitized with one of the following heat-killed mycobacteri...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE To estimate the efficacy of BCG in preventing tuberculosis over a 15-year period, and also to assess the impact of infection with nontuberculous environmental mycobacteria in a rural community in Chingleput district in Tamil Nadu in south India. We re-analysed the 15-year follow up data of a large randomized trial conducted earlier. METHODS A double-blind randomized con...
objective(s): tuberculosis is one of the most important infectious diseases with high mortality rates worldwide, especially in developing countries. interleukin17 (il-17) is an important acquired immunity cytokine, which is mainly produced by cd4+th17 cells. it can recruit neutrophils and macrophages to the infected site in the lungs. il-23 is one of the most important inducers of il-17. in the...
The predictive value of induration 24 hours after administration of purified protein derivative (PPD) was examined. Altogether 1082 healthy schoolchildren were tested using 5 tuberculin units of PPD. Induration was measured at 24, 48, and 72 hours. At 24 hours, induration of any size had a relatively low positive predictive value (63%), although indurations > 5 mm had a higher (86%) positive pr...
Mycobacterium bovis strain AN5 has been used to produce purified protein derivative (PPD) for the intradermal test for bovine tuberculosis since it was introduced in 1948. This work reports the draft genome sequence of M. bovis AN5, which is used for the production of bovine PPD in Brazil, as well as comparisons to other strains of M. bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Cellular recognition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 and KatG peptides in systemic sarcoidosis.
Sarcoidosis is an enigmatic disease with a pathology similar to that of tuberculosis. We detected Th-1 immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 and KatG peptides from peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 15/26 sarcoidosis, 1/24 purified-protein-derivative-negative (PPD-) (P < 0.0001, Fisher's exact test), and 7/8 PPD-positive (PPD+) subjects (P = 0.21). This finding provides imm...
