Abstract :
Background: Assessing C-reactive protein concentration in lung TB as a predictor of sputum conversion and identifying the link active Serum-C protein and severity of disease.
Materials and Methods: Newly diagnosed lung tuberculosis patients and age group & gender compared to healthy people in the control group. A high-dose experimental test of active C-ELISA protein was used to measure Serum-C-reactive protein. ANOVA and t tests have been used to determine mathematical significance.
Results: In patients with AFB positive, Serum-C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher in AFB3 patients (63.12 ± 11.21) compared with AFB2 patients (36.25 ± 7.42), AFB1 (14.26 ± 3.12) and and AFB ± 7.23 (7.23 patients) 7.23) 2.19).
Conclusion: Serum-C-reactive protein level should better understand the severity of the disease which plays a key role in diagnosing and determining the clinical outcome of the disease.
