IgG antibody to M. tuberculosis antigen-5 and tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens of 55 patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and 55 patients with non-tuberculous neurological diseases (control group). The geometric mean antibody titre in CSF specimens of TBM patients was 82.4 with antigen-5 and 96.5 with PPD. In the control group, the geometric mean antibody titres for these antigens in CSF specimens were 4.6 and 10.8 respectively. The antibody titres did not show any correlation with tuberculin reactor status, duration of chemotherapy and IgG levels in CSF specimens in patients with TBM. At dilution end point 1:80, specificity of the assay was 100 per cent with antigen-5 and sensitivity of the assay was 70.9 per cent. False positivity observed in the control group with PPD antigen could be eliminated in 1:80 dilution in the assay with antigen-5. Antigen-5 is more specific than PPD antigen for the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis.

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
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.

D014390 Tuberculosis, Meningeal A form of bacterial meningitis caused by MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS or rarely MYCOBACTERIUM BOVIS. The organism seeds the meninges and forms microtuberculomas which subsequently rupture. The clinical course tends to be subacute, with progressions occurring over a period of several days or longer. Headache and meningeal irritation may be followed by SEIZURES, cranial neuropathies, focal neurologic deficits, somnolence, and eventually COMA. The illness may occur in immunocompetent individuals or as an OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTION in the ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME and other immunodeficiency syndromes.
