IgG antibody titer levels against two different antigens of M tuberculosis were investigated in the sera of 40 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and 16 with inactive pulmonary tuberculosis and 24 healthy controls by using ELISA technique. While a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 88% were determined for MSO (mycobacterial sonicate antigen) antigen, a sensitivity of 79% and a specificity 73% were determined for the other PPD (Purified protein derivative) antigen. ELISA, for serodiagnosis of tuberculosis was compared in terms of sensitivity for AFB (acid fast bacilli stain) and culture methods. In this study, the sensitivity of ELISA was found as 92% for MSO antigen and 79% for PPD antigen while it was 58% for AFB method and 95% for the culture method.

D009169 Mycobacterium tuberculosis A species of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria that produces TUBERCULOSIS in humans, other primates, CATTLE; DOGS; and some other animals which have contact with humans. Growth tends to be in serpentine, cordlike masses in which the bacilli show a parallel orientation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
