Abstract
A method for detection of antituberculous antibodies by enzyme immunoassay system developed by the authors, was tested on 317 blood serum samples taken from patients with tuberculosis and non-tuberculous diseases of the lungs, vertebral column, kidneys and genitalia. Depending on the process site, the detection rate of specific antibodies and their specificity made up 57-77% and 85-95%, respectively, which practically agrees with the data produced as a result of a simultaneously conduction of three routine serologic reactions.
