Effect of isoniazid preventive therapy on immune responses to mycobacterium tuberculosis: an open label randomised, controlled, exploratory study

Abstract: BackgroundWith the renewed emphasis to implement isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) in Sub-Saharan Africa, we investigated the effect of IPT on immunological profiles among household contacts with latent tuberculosis.MethodsHousehold contacts of confirmed tuberculosis patients were tested for latent tuberculosis using the QuantiFERON®-TB Gold In-Tube (QFN) assay and tuberculin skin test (TST). HIV negative contacts aged above 5 years, positive to both QFN and TST, were randomly assigned to IPT and monthly visi… Show more

“…IgE, IgG (all subclasses) and IgG4 antibody concentrations to Schistosoma mansoni Egg Antigen (SEA) and Schistosoma mansoni adult Worm Antigen (SWA) were measured using ELISA. Antigen concentrations of 8 μg/mL (SWA) and 2.4 μg/mL (SEA) plus sample dilutions of 1/20 (IgE), 1/200 (IgG4) and 1/3000 (IgG) were used, as previously reported [14, 30, 31].…”

“…However, in a few individuals, there is failure to counter the proinflammatory response, and this leads to progressive destruction of hepatocytes and overt drug-induced hepatotoxicity ensues [16, 17]. Indeed, several reports have described increased levels of some proinflammatory cytokines during hepatotoxicity by INH [18], PAR [19], and NVP [20]. …”

“…Olgumuzda PPD testi negatifliği ve tüberküloz basilinin mikroskopik olarak gösterilememesi nedeniyle PCR ile parotis tüberkülozu tanısı desteklenmiştir. Tüberküloz enfeksiyonlarının endemik olduğu ve BCG aşısının rutin uygulandığı bölgelerde PPD testinin negatif olabileceği bildirilmiştir (11). Son yıllarda Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tüberküloz enfeksiyonlarının tanısında PCR kullanımını önermektedir.…”
