Background and Aim: The better understanding of immunopathologic mechanism of tuberculosis (TB) is necessary for the production of new vaccines and adjunctive immunomodulator drugs. Intended to this object, the following study including the measurement of serum concentrations of Th1 (Interferon (IFN)-y and interkeukin (IL)-2 and Th2 cytokines(IL-4AND IL-10 ) in patients with sputum smear-posi...
BACKGROUND Studies from India on sputum conversion and tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes among TB patients with diabetes are limited. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to estimate the proportion of sputum smear conversion and successful treatment outcomes among diabetic-TB patients treated under Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP). METHODOLOGY Information on TB disease, ...
Meningitis is one of the serious complications of extra pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). TB meningitis is the most common chronic meningitis in the world. Early diagnosis and treatment of TB meningitis will decrease the probability of focal neurological defects in these patients. AFB smear and culture are the methods that routinely are used for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Polymerase Chain Reacti...
The proportion of patients with recurrent tuberculosis (TB) is reported to be increased in TB patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection after they have completed treatment. Despite rising HIV seroprevalence amongst TB patients in Malawi, notifications of patients with relapse smear-positive pulmonary TB (PTB) and recurrent smear-negative TB have remained stable during the past ...
BACKGROUND Quick diagnosis of smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and extra-pulmonary TB are urgently needed in clinical diagnosis. Our research aims to investigate the usefulness of the interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) for the diagnosis of smear-negative pulmonary and extra-pulmonary TB. METHODS We performed TB antibody and TB-IGRA tests on 389 pulmonary TB patients (including 120 sm...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has emerged as a significant global health concern. The most important risk factor for the development of MDR-TB is previous anti-tuberculosis therapy. Category II pulmonary TB includes those patients who had failed previous TB treatment, relapsed after treatment, or defaulted during previous treatment. We carried out this study ...
Abstract Background: Soil dust has been debated about its effects on public health and the challenge is brought about tuberculosis (TB). The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of soil dust on pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) prevalence and its control indices. Methods: The medical files of patients in Khuzestan Health Center were reviewed. The control group included the PTB...
OBJECTIVE Previous tuberculosis (TB) treatment status is an established risk factor for multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). This study explores which factors related to previous TB treatment may lead to the development of multidrug resistant in Bangladesh. DESIGN We previously conducted a large case-control study to identify risk factors for developing MDR-TB in Bangladesh. Patients who had a hi...
Background & Purpose: One of the most important united nation Millennium Development Goals is to control Tuberculosis (TB). This study aimed to identify the high-risk areas of TB and other related factors of it in an epidemiological study. Materials & Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of 1566 TB infected patients in healthcare centers of 17 cities of Mazandaran University of ...
SETTING South Africa is one of the world's 22 high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, with the second highest number of notified rifampicin-resistant TB (R(R)-TB) and multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) cases. OBJECTIVE To estimate patient costs associated with the diagnosis and treatment of R(R)-TB/MDR-TB in South Africa. DESIGN Patients diagnosed with R(R)-TB/MDR-TB and accessing care at gov...
