Tuberculosis of animal origin is currently in the increase, especially developing countries like Nigeria where animals and man share microenvironment together coupled with lack proper control measures. The disease due to Mycobacterium bovis has zoonotic implication. Systematic methodology was adopted peer-reviewed, scholarly journals Scopus, PubMed, Google search engines were used. articles use...

Tuberculosis is an ancient human disease that is still a major cause of death and one of the most challenging public health problems worldwide. After decades of stagnancy, new public-private partnerships to fight the disease and the increasing awareness of a vicious circle between the tuberculosis epidemic and the obstruction of economic development have fuelled recent progress in our understan...

Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. tuberculosis-like organisms has been identified in a wide range of species, including non-human primates, elephants and other exotic ungulates, carnivores, marine mammals and psittacine birds. Disease associated with M. tuberculosis has occurred mostly within captive settings and does not appear to occur naturally in free-living mammals. ...

Tuberculosis is an old disease, probably as old as humanity, and has been featured in various works of art throughout history. In 1882, Robert KOCH discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Since then, despite all the progress that has been made in tuberculosis research, in terms of vaccination and chemotherapy, tuberculosis remains a leading infectious disease. This situation is largely due to dr...

a 35-year-old lady presented with a history of decreased vision in her right eye from one week before her referral. she did not report any significant systemic disease. ocular findings were compatible with the diagnosis of central retinal vein occlusion. systemic laboratory tests were all within normal limits except for mantoux test (ppd) which was positive, 18 mm induration and 2+ redness. che...

Background & Objectives: Tuberculosis is one of the greatest health problems in Iran. The distribution of the disease is not equal in all parts of the country. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of positive results for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in samples referred to an academic hospital in an 8 year period. Materials and Methods: The samples from different wards of ...

Tuberculosis is a public health problem worldwide, including in the United States-particularly among immunocompromised patients and other high-risk groups. Tuberculosis manifests in active and latent forms. Active disease can occur as primary tuberculosis, developing shortly after infection, or postprimary tuberculosis, developing after a long period of latent infection. Primary tuberculosis oc...

Disseminated disease in children and pulmonary disease in adults constitute two major epidemiological and clinical forms of tuberculosis. Paradoxically, only a small fraction of infected individuals develop clinical tuberculosis, typically one form of the disease or the other. Mendelian and complex genetic predispositions to tuberculosis were reported recently in children and adults, respective...

Tuberculosis is one of the most common causes for cervical lymphadenopathy apart from distant metastasis and lymphoma. Early diagnosis this disease reduces patient’s morbidity by initiating early course Antitubercular treatment with complete resolution disease. Hence, condition we are searching a modality which can give results in shorter period time, more sensitive, specific important easier t...
