Abstract

Objectives: To determine the levels of Ca125 and CEA those are tumor markers at tuberculosis patients during the treatment. Materials and Methods: In 20 cases that were diagnosed as active pulmonary diagnosis (APT), the serum levels of CA-125 and CEA were measured initially and second and sixth months of the treatment. These results were compared with the results that obtained from 15 inactive pulmonary tuberculosis (IPT) cases and 15 healthy controls. Results: Serum CA-125 levels were higher at APT cases than in IPT cases and controls at the beginning of the treatment (p

Akciğer Tüberkülozu Tedavisinin Takibinde Serum Ca-125 ve CEA Düzeyleri

Abstract

Amaç: Tümör belirleyicileri olan CA-125 ve CEA'nın tüberkülozlu hastalarda tedavi süresince serum düzeylerinin saptanması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Aktif akciğer tüberkülozu tanısı konulan 20 olguda, başlangıç ve tedavinin 2. ve 6. aylarında serum CA-125 ve CEA düzeyleri ölçüldü. Ayrıca elde edilen sonuçlar 15 inaktif tüberküloz olgusu ile 15 sağlıklı kontrol olgusundan elde edilen sonuçlarla karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Serum CA-125 düzeyleri aktif grupta tedavi başlangıcında hem inaktif hem de kontrol grubundan anlamlı olarak yüksekti (her iki grup için p
