Diagnostic Value of IP-10 Level in Plasma and Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid in Children with Tuberculosis and Other Lung Diseases

Abstract: Objectives: IP-10 has been proposed as a new diagnostic biomarker for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (MTBI). However, data on IP-10 concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) for pediatric tuberculosis are lacking. Aim: To determine IP-10 levels in unstimulated BALF and plasma in children with and without MTBI. Methods: IP-10 concentrations in BALF and plasma were measured in children hospitalized with suspected tuberculosis or other respiratory disease and scheduled for bronchoscopy. Thirty-fi… Show more

“…Interferon gamma inducible protein 10 (IP10) is known as a marker for TB infection and was recently described to be involved as an indicator for sputum culture conversion and treatment monitoring 26 . A combination of IP-10 and RANTES has shown good performance in diagnostic and monitoring in pulmonary TB management 27 29 .…”
