Abstract |
Sixty two and 59 patients with tuberculous and nontuberculous salpingo- oophoritis, respectively, and 30 healthy females were examined. It was found that indirect solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) using ultrasonography of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv could detect antituberculosis antibodies in 66.7% of patients with tuberculous salpingo- oophoritis, and in 10% of healthy females. That using the antigen isolated from the cell wall extract of M. tuberculosis (whose molecular weight was 38 - 42 kD) could reveal them in 70.2, 4.3%, and 6.7%, respectively. After dissociation of immune complexes, EIA inhibition using affinity-purified antimycobacterial antisera displayed mycobacterial antigens in 75.0 and 4.3% of patients with tuberculous and nontuberculous salpingo- oophoritis, respectively, and in none healthy female. Thus, the detection of mycobacterial antigens and antituberculosis antibody may be successfully used in the complex diagnosis of tuberculosis of the female genitals.
