Abstract

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of LAM-IgG in diagnosing active pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The serum LAM-IgG of 471 tuberculosis patients and 102 non-tuberculosis patients were detected with tuberculosis quick diagnostic outfit. Results The sensitivity of LAM-IgG in diagnosing active tuberculosis was 64 percent, the specificity was 83. 3 percent. In diagnosing active pulmonary tuberculosis the sensitivity was 80. 5 percent. The positive consistency between serum LAM-IgG and sputum examination for tubercle bacillus was 64. 1 percent. Among active pulmonary tuberculosis patients 73. 6 percent recovered. Conclusion Serum LAM-IgG is proved to be a useful anxiliary examination in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis.
