Abstract excerpt
HLA antigens were studied by serology and polymerase chain reaction-based sequence-specific oligonucleotide hybridization techniques in 153 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and 289 healthy controls. HLA-DR2 was present more frequently in PTB patients than in controls (51% vs. 36.3%; corrected P[Pc]=.029, relative risk [RR] = 1.8). The DR2 association was stronger in patients in the drug-failure group...
