-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
											      
  Anti A 60 Mycobacterium 				   LESS THAN 125 Units (NEGATIVE)            
       IgG				       	           125 - 225 Units (DUBIOUS) 
							   MORE THAN 225 Units (POSITIVE)

In case of Dubious result tue test should be repeated after 2 weeks. 

  IMPORTANT NOTES  :- 
 	
  Only Anti - A - 60 Antibodies are identified by this test. These antibodies 
  have been found in infections due to the following :- 

   M. tuberculosis 					(Typical Tuberculosis)
	M. leprae
	M. avium 			        		(A Typical tuberculosis)
	M. paratuberculosis
	M. bovis
	Other Mycobacteria
  Concentration of circulating antibodies is related to the state and extent of the 
  disease. With primary and post primary tuberculosis in the progressive stage. 

  Levels increase. In order stages levels are very low or not detectable. At the 
  Beginning of treatment, levels increase slightly and then decrease. Their 
  Disappearance indicates patient recovery. 
  IgG to A - 60 mycobacterium (ELISA) should be correlated with the clinical as well 
  as with :-
	
A.	IgM to A - 60 Mycobacterium. 
B.	IgA to A - 60 Mycobacterium.
C.	Montoux.
