Doctors Find New Test
Washington—(U.P.)—Two new blood tests to detect active tuberculosis and which may serve as a barometer on progress of the disease were announced at the annual meeting of the National Tuberculosis association.
One test, reported by Dr. Gardner Middlebrook of New York's Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, uses two elements in a patient's blood that can be checked against one another to determine whether tuberculosis germs are at their deadly work in the human body.
The other test, reported by Dr Bruno Gerste of the Veterans hospital, Oakland, Calif., measures the blood's gamma globulin that carries anti-bodies, or disease fighters. It
has been found that the gamma globulin content appears to rise with an increase of disease and fall with improvement in the patient's condition.
The new test reported by Doctor Middlebrook is an improvement over a technique he previously announced in conjunction with Dr Rene J. Dubos, also of the Rockefeller Institute.
