Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze changes in lung function after tuberculosis treatment and investigate how lingering lung damage affects spirometric measurement outcomes.
- - Data was collected from 96 patients treated for pulmonary tuberculosis in Recife, showing that 89.6% had lasting radiographic damage, with around 54% experiencing moderate to severe impairment.
- - The findings highlight the need for comprehensive post-treatment care that addresses not just infection clearance but also residual lung issues, to enhance patients' recovery and quality of life.

Objective: To verify the association of SLE activity to the avidity of IgG anti-EBV immune globulins.
Methods: Peripheral blood of 66 patients was analyzed, 22 had active SLE and 44 had inactive SLE. Presence and avidity index of IgG anti-EBV antibodies were determined by the ELISA method (Enzygnost anti-EBV/IgG - Dade Behring).
