[Tuberculin-provocation immunological tests in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis].
Prior to and after administration of subcutaneous tuberculin (50 TU) 50 tuberculous and 84 patients with pulmonary tumors, pneumonia, cysts, echinococcosis were examined for immunologically active proteins (IgG, IgA, C3c) and individual serum proteins (alpha2-macroglobulin, alpha1-antitripsin, fibrinogen, acid alpha-glycoprotein). Blast-transformation and migration inhibition on PPI reactions were also conducted. It was established that the above tuberculin-provocative tests may be employed with different efficacy in different clinical situations. Tests for cell immunity are applicable in large well-equipped hospitals. Tests for immunologically active proteins and serum proteins of different functional groups are more suitable for wide practice.
