Tuberculosis on the threshold of 2000
No full textDuring the last 10 years, tuberculosis (TBC) previously in progressive decline, showed a marked increase all over the world, for biological and economic reasons. This fact induced new interests in this disease, in the epidemiologic, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic fields. At the moment there are a lot of studies about tuberculosis HIV+ patients, above all in developing countries. TBC can be efficaciously treated through strategies performed by developed countries
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and HIV co-infection in the lung: synergic immune dysregulation leading to disease progression
No full textThe laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis. Serodiagnosis
No full textDosage of antibodies for serodiagnosis of tuberculosis is not yet regularly performed because of the low sensitivity and specificity of the methods currently used, although these limitations have the low sensitivity and specificity of the methods currently used, although these limitations have been partially overcome by modern radioimmunological and immunoenzymatic techniques, and by mycobacterial antigen purification. The serodiagnosis should differ subjects with tuberculosis from those without disease and from those affected by micobacteriosis; distinguish between serum antibodies due to natural infection and serum antibodies due to BCG vaccination and allow to monitor anti-tuberculosis therapy. None of the methods currently used is able to obtain these results, so they cannot be considered a substitute for traditional diagnosis of tuberculosis. However, two potential fields of application can be outlined: the diagnosis of tuberculosis without bacteriological data and the study of tuberculosis immunological mechanisms
