Cytometric Immunodiagnostics of Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
TB-reactive immune cells will be tested in a multiparametric flow cytometry to distinguish an immune response for antigens of Mycobacterium spp. in TB disease/latent infection or a reaction after BCG vaccine.

Detailed Description
The goal of this project is the verification of current cytometric panel of detection antibodies in a wider panel of stimulative immunodominant antigens for CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in combination with adjuvants 2 in a in vitro activating test.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Contact with active TB/ LTBI After a close contact with bacteriologically confirmed TB suspicion for LTBI with an evidence of previous BCG vaccination status TB confirmed with TST (TST ≥ 5 mm or BCG unvaccinated or TST ≥ 15 mm for BCG vaccinated) 20 children and adolescents 20 adults |
Diagnostic Test: Blood draw
Blood draw and the analysis of blood in laboratory
|
Active TB group Active TB group with positive microbial culture and pathological chest radiography or chest CT 20 children and adolescents 20 adults |
Diagnostic Test: Blood draw
Blood draw and the analysis of blood in laboratory
|
Contact with active TB/ negative After a close contact with bacteriologically confirmed TB no evidence of TB in TST or IGRA test for 3 months 20 children and adolescents 20 adults |
Diagnostic Test: Blood draw
Blood draw and the analysis of blood in laboratory
