46. Reação imunoenzimática (ELISA) para detecção de imunoglobulina M, imunoglobulina G e imunoglobulina A contra a proteína rHsp-X (Rv 2031c)de Mycobacterium tuberculosis em pacientes com tuberculose pleural / Linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin A against the protein rHsp-X (Rv2031c) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in patients with pleural tuberculosis
Pleural tuberculosis (TBP) has often spontaneous resolution, even without treatment. However, the lack of proper diagnosis and treatment can lead to the occurrence of pulmonary and/or extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in 65% of the cases, in the five years subsequent. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the recombinant Hsp-X antigen (
