[Pathogenetic rationale and diagnostic methods in allergic tuberculous synovitis of the knee joint]
Abstract:
The pathogenesis of tuberculous allergic synovitis was specified in the experiments on 44 rabbits by applying original simulation methods, including bivalent sensibilization, parallel study of the synovial fluid and serum of laboratory animals. A role of the synovial layer as an organ of immunogenesis and its impact on antibody titers were defined. A new diagnostic test, involving a diagnostic parameter and an equation for its calculation was developed. An algorithm was proposed for examining patients with synovitis (arthritis) of unknown etiology, which includes a set of significant clinical and laboratory parameters. Its testing in 64 patients enabled the tuberculous nature of the disease to be identified in 30% of cases.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
