Excessive Cytolytic Responses Predict Tuberculosis Relapse After Apparently Successful Treatment
BACKGROUND Currently, there are no tools to accurately predict tuberculosis relapse. This study aimed to determine whether patients who experience tuberculosis relapse have different immune responses to mycobacteria in vitro than patients who remain cured for 2 years. METHODS Patients with an initial episode of pulmonary tuberculosis were recruited in South Africa. Diluted blood, collected at...
متن کاملSmoking increases the risk of relapse after successful tuberculosis treatment

The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors for tuberculosis relapse, with emphasis on smoking. METHO...
متن کاملThe temporal dynamics of relapse and reinfection tuberculosis after successful treatment: a retrospective cohort study.
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence from tuberculosis high-burden settings that exogenous reinfection contributes considerably to recurrent disease. However, large longitudinal studies of endogenous reactivation (relapse) and reinfection tuberculosis are lacking. We hypothesize a relationship between relapse vs reinfection and the time between treatment completion and recurrent disease. M...
متن کاملDoes urge to drink predict relapse after treatment?
The urge to drink, also often referred to as craving, is an emotional state in which a person is motivated to seek and use alcohol. In abstinent alcoholics, this urge may contribute to the risk of relapse. Researchers have developed several models--including the conditioned withdrawal model, conditioned appetitive motivational model, social learning model, and information-processing model--to d...
متن کاملRecurrence after Successful Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Taiwan
Recurrence after successful treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is challenging because of limited retreatment options. This study aimed to determine rates and predictors of MDR-TB recurrence after successful treatment in Taiwan. Recurrence rates were analyzed by time from treatment completion in 295 M DR-TB patients in a national cohort. Factors associated with MDR-TB recurr...
