Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 , 2 (HTLV-1, 2) is endemic in Particular Areas of the world in which it is associated with myeloid leukemia.In this study, we described the prevalence of HTLV-1, 2 in myeloid leukemia and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Iran. We have worked with tissue and blood samples for 2 years. These were the same samples which were positive for myeloid leukemia, Mycoba...

Tuberculosis is a highly infectious disease. It usually infects the lung, but dissemination to different organs results in severe form of tuberculosis, i.e., disseminated tuberculosis. The situation becomes even more challenging when infection due multidrug-resistant strains Mycobacterium present case very rare one where 17-year-old Indian girl presented with headache, vomiting, cough expectora...

results results of the current study showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration value of cinnamaldehyde against m. tuberculosis was 200 µg/ml. moreover, rt-pcr data showed that a total of 25 genes were regulated by the cinnamaldehyde. of these, 12 genes were up-regulated, and 13 genes were down-regulated. conclusions cinnamaldehyde is a pattern to expand the new anti-tb drugs, because the...

background and objectives: hbha and mtb32c have been isolated from culture supernatants of mycobacterium tu- berculosis (m. tuberculosis) and mycobacterium bovis (m. bovis) and their immunogenicity previously studies have been confirmed. in this study, capability of constructed vector containing two mycobacterial immunodaminant antigens (mt- b32c-hbha), in producing new chimeric protein under t...

at present, most of iran is free of bovine tuberculosis (tb). the strategy of control and eradication in iran involves a tuberculation test and slaughter of reactors, a procedure transformed the present-day prevalence of tb into a sporadic occurrence. this paper describes the first report of bovine tuberculosis in a european fallow deer ( dama dama dama ) in iran. the deer was emaciated and fou...

background: one of the fundamental issues of infectious disease treatment is drug resistance. the aim of the present study was to investigate the first-line anti-tuberculosis drug resistance rates and determine the risk factors related to multidrug resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis.methods: from march 2011 to september 2012, mycobacterial strains were collected from one hundred fifteen diagn...
