Early and accurate diagnosis of the disease and effective treatment are key important factors to contain the disease. The disease presents as chronic meningitis where other partners such as fungal meningitis, neurosyphilis, cysticercal meningitis, carcinomatous meningitis and partially treated pyogenic meningitis share a similar clinical picture making the diagnosis complicated. Culturing of the pathogen\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>\n                      (MTB) from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample has shown a poor response. The main immunological method for the immunodiagnosis of TBM is the detection of an antibody response in the CSF. In the present study, total\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Mtb<\/jats:italic>\n                      sonicated extract antigen was used for ELISA and Western blot. ELISA shows overall immune response of the test sample, whereas Western blotting reveals the specific reactivity to a particular molecular weight antigen. This would also reveal the immunodominant antigen. A total of 300 CSF samples were analyzed by both ELISA and Western blotting. Of the 240 clinically suspected TBM cases, 111 samples were positive by ELISA and 81 samples by Western blot. A total of 76 CSF samples were positive by both ELISA and Western blot. None of the control samples showed positivity either by ELISA or by Western blot. TBM patients revealed major antibody reactivity to 30\u201340kD region, followed by 14kD region. ELISA is sensitive with mild non-specific binding, but Western blot is specific in detecting the immune response. The findings will be useful in definitive immunodiagnosis of TBM.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijmyco.2015.03.004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,9]],"date-time":"2015-04-09T05:14:52Z","timestamp":1428556492000},"page":"124-130","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Immunoconfirmation of central nervous system tuberculosis by blotting"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Shripad","family":"Patil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prashant","family":"Giribhattanavar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madhusudan","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kavitha","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-6-20260907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.2174\/156652409787581655","article-title":"Pathogenesis of central nervous system tuberculosis","volume":"9","author":"Be","year":"2009","journal-title":"Curr.
