Tuberculosis is a global threat to human existence. A model investigate the transmission of tuberculosis was constructed and analysed. The threshold quantity ( R_0) that predicts existence or extinction disease in population computed. It found local stability asymptotically stable when basic reproduction number less than unity at disease-free – equilibrium point. Lyapunov function order analyse...

conclusions concurrent pulmonary nocardiosis and tuberculosis is frequent in hiv-infected patients. rapid and sensitive methods such as pcr are recommended for detection of such co-infections. results from 157 sputum specimens, positive samples by acid fast staining, culture and pcr for m. tuberculosis were reported for 7.6% (12/157), 10.1% (16/157) and 7% (11/157) of samples, respectively. no ...

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The considered dangerous because it infects the lungs and other organs of body can lead to death. This study discusses a mathematical model for spread tuberculosis with two treatment sites as effort reduce transmission rate TB cases. Treatment patients be done at home in hospitals. purpose this was construct analyze qua...

Tuberculosis is a contagious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis, which transmitted through aerosols or droplet nuclei into the air when person coughs, sneezes, talks and then inhaled airway. In this study, mathematical model will be formulated to describe spread of tuberculosis with DOTS strategy using SEIT type epidemic model. Furthermore, obtained determine stability, look for basic...

BACKGROUND Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis threatens to reverse recent reductions in global tuberculosis incidence. Although children younger than 15 years constitute more than 25% of the worldwide population, the global incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis disease in children has never been quantified. We aimed to estimate the regional and global annual incidence of multidrug-resista...

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The α-mangostin in mangosteen pericarp extract can inhibit M. tuberculosis growth. This study examined the potency of α-mangostin in mangosteen pericarp extract to inhibit 38-kDa and Ag85 protein secretion from M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The samples used in this study were divided into three independent variable groups...

Tuberculosis is a disease with myriad presentations and manifestations; it can affect any organ or tissue, excluding only hair and nails. Doctors who are not familiar with extrapulmonary tuberculosis often overlook this disease. Urogenital tuberculosis (UGTB) is the second most common form of TB in countries with severe epidemic situation and the third most common form in regions with low incid...

This study aims to observe and analyze the diagnostic value of T-cell enzyme linked immunospot assay for tuberculosis infection during diagnosis pulmonary extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The objects were 200 cases patients in outpatient department or inpatient our hospital, including 100 with active tuberculosis, Meanwhile, we selected 90 non disease, nontuberculous disease health examination. tes...

background & aim: nowadays tuberculosis (tb) is one of the public health concerns in iran. the present study aimed to examine the clinical epidemiology and treatment findings of tuberculosis in babol, northern iran. methods & materials: this cross-sectional study was carried out on medical records of tuberculosis registry pertained to health center of babol, mazandaran province, iran. the inves...
