Blood Test Detects TB in Promising Study
A simple blood test for tuberculosis shows promising results with 48 of 52 TB patients testing positive and 36 of 28 well people testing negative. The study, led by Northwestern University researchers Dr. Guy P. Youmans and colleagues, suggests antibodies react with TB germs in a gel-based tube. The March report details the test's simplicity and reliability and notes it measures presence of antibodies rather than protection level. The work involves Dr. William Lester of the Cook County Tuberculosis Association and Hinsdale Sanitorium.
