“…9,10,11 Although the antigen is highly specific, (i) it was observed that seropositivity in children of school age and prevalence of leprosy were not correlated; (ii) in areas of high endemicity there were no differences in the proportion of seropositivity among contacts and non-contacts. 12 These discordant results of the tests indicate that there remain unexplained factors and further research will help to clarify how the specificity of the test can be improved. 13,14 This study aims to identify ML Flow seropositivity among health professionals.…”

“…Entretanto, o estudo de Chanteau et al 16 encontrou que o antígeno trissacarídeo é mais sensível para o diagnóstico da hanseníase PB, ao contrário deste estudo, que observou que o antígeno dissacarídeo é que se apresentou mais sensível ao diagnóstico da hanseníase PB. É importante ressaltar que o estudo em questão foi realizado em área de baixa endemicidade, a Polinésia Francesa, e tal fato sugere que o desempenho do antígeno trissacarídeo é melhor para o diagnóstico dos pacientes PB em virtude de não haver proporção significativa de indivíduos clinicamente sadios infectados com o M. leprae, os quais seriam positivos à sorologia, reduzindo, desta forma a sensibilidade dele, diferente das regiões hiperendêmicas 5,6,7,8,9,22,23,24,25 , pois, nessas regiões, a proporção de indivíduos clinicamente sadios infectados é normalmente alta 3,4,5,6,7,26 .…”

“…Os estudos da imunidade humoral na hanseníase, em sua maioria observam sensibilidade de 90 a 100% para o diagnóstico da hanseníase MB e de 40 a 60% para o diagnóstico da hanseníase PB 3,4,5,6,7 .…”
