Antigen A 60 of Mycobacterium bovis is a cell wall antigen with almost complete cross reactivity with antigen A 60 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This antigen was used for the ELISA technique for 100 cases suspected of childhood tuberculosis to evaluate the usefulness of the method in the diagnosis. The positivity rate in pulmonary tuberculosis was 65.1%, in central nervous system tuberculosis 50.0% and in the miscellaneous group 76.4%. The overall positivity was 61.0%, proving the utility of the method for diagnosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D009163 Mycobacterium bovis The bovine variety of the tubercle bacillus. It is called also Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. bovis. BCG,Calmette-Guerin Bacillus
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002675 Child, Preschool A child between the ages of 2 and 5. Children, Preschool,Preschool Child,Preschool Children
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.
