Abstract:
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum from patients with tuberculosis meningitis (TBM) and nontuberculosis meningitis were assayed for IgG antibody activity to purified protein derivative (PPD) by ELISA.The results showed that the patients with TBM clearly had higher levels of antibody to PPD antigen than did approrjate control groups (P0.05).Because of its sensitity, specificity,and rapidity value,this method can be used for early diagnosis of tuberculosis meningitis.
