The majority of active tuberculosis (TB) cases develop from latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Since the risk of TB in hemodialysis (HD) patients is particularly high, interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) for LTBI screening...
This study is aimed to develop a new nomogram for the clinical diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB).xCell score estimation to obtained the immune cell type abundance scores. We downloaded the expression profile of...
Tuberculosis presents a global health challenge and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling is required for host immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). TNF receptor shedding however compromises effective immunity by...
Highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) is an effective anti-retroviral cocktail. Similarly, anti-Koch is highly potent against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, these drugs have been shown to impair male fertility....
To analyze the treatment success rate (TSR = sum of cured or treatment completed) in the tuberculosis (TB) program for drug susceptible TB (DS-TB) of the “Centre Hospitalier Régional Spécialisé” in Macenta, Forest...
TUBERCULOSIS: (TB) transmitted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one of the top 10 causes of death globally. Currently, the widespread occurrence of resistance toward Mtb strains is becoming a significant concern to public...
To identify and describe histological and immunohistochemical criteria that may differentiate between skin and lymph node lesions associated with Mycobacterium (M.) bovis and M. microti in a diagnostic pathology setting.Archived...
Our study’s primary objective was to compare 1-year survival rates between serum cryptococcal antigen (sCrAg)-positive and sCrAg-negative HIV-positive individuals with CD4 counts <100 cells/μl without symptoms of...
Multi-Drug-Resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) are a serious obstacle to global TB eradication. While most MDR-TB strains are infrequently transmitted, a few cause large transmission clusters that contribute...
For tuberculosis to be eradicated, the transmission of Multi-Drug-Resistant and eXtensively Drug Resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR and XDR-TB) must be considerably reduced. Drug resistant strains were...
Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) reduces tuberculosis reactivation and mortality among persons living with HIV (PLWH), yet hepatotoxicity concerns exclude “regular and heavy alcohol drinkers” from IPT. We aimed to...
About 26% of the world’s population may have latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Health care workers are a high-risk category because of their professional exposure.This cross-sectional study assessed the LTBI burden...
