Antibodies are tested for in tuberculosis (TB) to aid in the diagnosis of the disease, particularly in cases where traditional tests, such as sputum smear and culture, may be inconclusive. The presence of specific antibodies can indicate an immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria causing TB. However, antibody tests are generally not as reliable as other diagnostic methods, and their use is often limited to specific contexts, such as screening or in conjunction with other tests. Overall, they provide supplementary information rather than definitive diagnosis.
