[Immunologic indices of tuberculosis in pregnant women].
The results of immunological examination of 40 pregnant women recovered from tuberculosis and 7 healthy pregnant women are presented. The highest titers of antituberculous antibodies, the highest levels of leukocyte migration inhibition in response to tuberculin and the highest percentage of formazan-positive neutrophils were characteristic of the women recovered from tuberculosis. There was an increase in the indices by the pregnancy terms from the 36th to the 40th weeks. Simultaneous detection of the high indices of the immunological tests was prognostically unfavourable which could be used as a basis for arrangements on preventing tuberculosis aggravation during pregnancy.
