ABSTRACT
The aim of study was evaluation of the utility of ELISA test using A60 Antigen for rapid diagnosis of Genitourinary Tuberculosis in various age groups. ELISA test based on mycobacterial antigen A60 (Anda biological, France) was used to estimate specific IgG antibodies in the sera of fifty four suspected cases of Genito urinary tuberculosis. (GUT)Sera of 30 montoux negative healthy adults (age/sex matched) were taken as control by detecting IgG anti bodies to A60 antigen. It was concluded from this study that IgM was positive in 87.0% of cases.
