Simultaneous infection with two drug-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in an immunocompetent host.
An important assumption for DNA fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is that patients are infected with only one strain at a time. Nonetheless, we demonstrate a case of simultaneous infection with two drug-susceptible strains of M. tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient by IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism and spoligotyping. Epidemiological data prove the patient's inv...
متن کاملGenotyping ofMycobacterium tuberculosis in China and Missing Links in the Chain of Ongoing Transmission of Tuberculosis
Worldwide, the epidemiology of tuberculosis varies widely from an uncommon disease refueled by immigration to highly endemic, with ongoing transmission as the driving force. Countries with the highest incidence rates are found in subSaharan Africa, whereas the highest absolute numbers of cases are recorded in India and China. The latter countries experience intermediate incidence rates, but hav...
متن کاملA Case with Multiple Localizations of Tuberculosis Infection
TURKISH RESPIRATORY JOURNAL 86 INTRODUCTION The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) disease in Turkey in 2000 was 27/100,000 [12]. Tuberculosis may involve not only lungs but also other tissue and organs by three mechanisms: infective sputum material forming lesions in airways and gastrointestinal system, dissemination of infection from a nearby focus and lympho-hematogenic dissemination [13]. Extra...
متن کاملInfection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype strains is associated with polymorphisms in SLC11A1/NRAMP1 in Indonesian patients with tuberculosis.
Differences in host immune genes may predispose to tuberculosis caused by particular Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes. We examined this hypothesis in Indonesia by spoligotyping M. tuberculosis isolates recovered from 336 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and typing the patients' SLC11A1 gene (formerly known as "NRAMP1"), which is involved in susceptibility to tuberculosis. The M. tubercu...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Latent Tuberculosis Infection and Smear Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis in People with Household Close Contact with Tuberculosis in North of Iran
One of the recommended strategies for preventing tuberculosis is to screen high-risk populations with respect to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection. The aim of the present study was to investigate latent infection and active tuberculosis in people with close household contact. It was a cross-sectional descriptive, analytical study with the sample size of 668 people from homes with one in...
