Immune Response to Mycobacterial Infection: Lessons from Flow Cytometry

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2013
Detecting and treating active and latent tuberculosis are pivotal elements for effective infection control; yet, due to their significant inherent limitations, the diagnostic means for these two stages of tuberculosis (TB) to date remain suboptimal. This

Do successful tuberculosis vaccines need to be immunoregulatory rather than merely Th1-boosting? [PDF]

, 2005
Tuberculosis vaccine candidates are entering clinical studies in areas where BCG fails. This is a high-risk strategy. We suggest that geographical variation in the efficacy of BCG is related to the presence in developing countries of a cross-reactive ...

Diagnostic accuracy study of STANDARD TB-Feron FIA and STANDARD TB-Feron ELISA tests for tuberculosis infection diagnosis in Eastern European setting

Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Other Mycobacterial Diseases
Introduction: Tuberculosis infection (TBI) is diagnosed based on a positive immune response to M. tuberculosis antigens. This study aimed to evaluate both the qualitative and quantitative performance of two novel IGRA-based tests, the STANDARD E TB-Feron

Latentna tuberkulozna infekcija

Rad Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti. Medicinske znanosti, 2012
Latentna tuberkulozna infekcija (LTBI) definira se kao supklinička infekcija bakterijom Mycobacterium (M.) tuberculosis. Kod djece i osoba oslabljenog imunološkog sustava, zbog pojedinih patoloških stanja ili terapijskih postupaka, postoji veći rizik za aktivaciju LTBI-ja u aktivnu tuberkulozu u odnosu na opću populaciju, te je takvu infekciju potrebno
