[Determination of serum antibody against Bacteroides gingivalis from rapidly progressive periodontitis and juvenile periodontitis patients].
Bacteroides gingivitis (Bg) is one of the major pathogens associated with periodontitis. This is the first report in China on serum antibody level against Bg from patients with rapidly progressive periodontitis (RPP) and juvenile periodontitis (JP) using ELISA method. 21 RPP patients, 20 JP patients and 30 healthy subjects (H) were involved in this study. The results showed that the ratio of positive antibody response was 100% in RPP, 80% in JP and 30% in control group. The antibody response in both RPP and JP groups were significantly greater than that in healthy group (P less than 0.001). The difference between RPP and JP groups were also statistically significant (P less than 0.05).
