title: [Diagnostic value of IgG, IgA, and IgM to Bordetella pertussis antigens in patients with pertussis].
abstract: Comparative study of IgG, IgA, and IgM levels to complex of antigens (CA) of vaccine strain No. 475 and separate antigens of Bordetella pertussis: pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), lypopolysaccharide (LPS), agglutinogens 1 (Aggl.1) and 2 (Aggl.2) was performed by ELISA in 80 patients with pertussis and 80 healthy vaccinated children. Antibodies to mentioned antigens were detected both in ill and healthy children but their levels were remarkably higher in patients. The most reliable serologic marker of pertussis was IgA, which were detected in the majority of patients. Detection rates of this class of antibodies to CA, PT, FHA, LPS, Aggl.1, and Aggl.2 were 91%, 77.5%, 69%, 59%, 80%, and 12%, respectively. Elevated levels of specific IgA were registered in 5% of healthy children. Obtained results showed high information value of detection of the IgA and IgG antibodies to CA, PT, FHA, and Aggl.1 using ELISA for pertussis diagnostics. Simplicity and economy of the CA obtainment allow to recommend CA-based ELISA for serologic diagnostics of pertussis.
