[Specificity and sensitivity of the 4-N-acetyl-L-tyrosyl-p- aminobenzoic acid test in childhood with serum p-aminobenzoic acid determination]. 1988

J Henker, and C Sprössig

Klinik für Kinderheilkunde, Medizinichen Akademie Carl Gustav Carus Dresden.

Specificity and sensitivity of ALTAB test have been estimated in 40 healthy children and 13 cystic fibrosis patients. The test has been carried out in the modification as 2-hour-serum PABA-test. The found specificity was 90%, the sensitivity 100% respectively. Therefore this test is suitable for evaluation of exocrine pancreas function.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010129	4-Aminobenzoic Acid	An aminobenzoic acid isomer that combines with pteridine and GLUTAMIC ACID to form FOLIC ACID. The fact that 4-aminobenzoic acid absorbs light throughout the UVB range has also resulted in its use as an ingredient in SUNSCREENS.

D003550	Cystic Fibrosis	An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
