Phase IIb Clinical Study of Recombinant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Allergen ESAT6-CFP10

Summary

96 TB subjects and 96 non-TB subjects with lung disease who all meet the standard are divided into different groups through a randomized, blind methods.Every subject inject intradermally ESAT6-CFP10 and TB-PPD in different arms of the same person.Specific γ- IFN(gamma interferon) detection is needed before the injection.Evaluate the sensitivity (positive coincidence rate) ,the specificity (negative coincidence rate) and the coincidence rate of ESAT6-CFP10 in the tuberculosis patients and non-tuberculosis patients with lung diseases, and determine the optimal dose of ESAT6-CFP10 for clinical auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis.
