Is there hope for TB serology<br />

TB serology<br />
Highly desirable<br />
– rapid, simple, inexpensive, safe, non-invasive<br />
Difficult
The challenges of TB serodiagnosis<br />
A varied antibody response<br />
– not all patients with active TB have antibodies against the<br />
same antigens<br />
HIV coinfection<br />
– reduced anti-Mtb antibody titers<br />
“Confounding” states<br />
– Exposure to mycobacterial antigens<br />
– Natural history of M. tuberculosis infection
Exposure to mycobacterial antigens<br />
Non-TB mycobacterioses AVOID CROSS-REACTIVE AGs<br />
BCG vaccination<br />

Latently infected (TST + ) and non-infected (TST - ) groups<br />
were serologically indistinguishable (p > 0.5)<br />
Active TB was associated with greater reactivity to the<br />
38 kDa antigen than any other group<br />
Inactive TB was associated with greater reactivity to<br />
ESAT-6 and 16 kDa antigen than any other group<br />

Latent infection is seronegative<br />
Active TB can be distinguished from<br />
inactive TB<br />

Conclusions<br />
A comprehensive antibody profiling of M.<br />
tuberculosis infection needs to be developed<br />
to define a diagnostic bar-code for active TB<br />
High-throughput methods for whole<br />
proteome screens are available
There is most definitely hope<br />
for TB serology
