The objective: to evaluate immediate and postponed results of surgical treatment tuberculosis (TB) in patients with TB/HIV co-infection. Subjects methods. 106 underwent surgery: 64 suffering from pulmonary (81.2% had resections, 18.8% – thoracoplasty), 36 tuberculous spondylitis (vertebral body resection combination anterior spondylodesis), 6 cerebral TB (removal lesions under neuronavigation)....

This study was planned to determine HIV seroprevalence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients, to characterize the isolated mycobacteria into typical and atypical strains and to evaluate the drug resistant pattern of mycobacterial isolates. The study aims to correlate multidrug resistance (MDR) and HIV seropositivity status in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. During the year 1994-1997, 750 pulmo...

Background: India reports the highest number of cases tuberculosis (TB) in India. Patients with TB employ negative financial coping mechanisms (dissaving) to make up for costs care. Our objectives were explore dissaving employed and enablers perceived by patients TB-HIV, TB-diabetes, program managers TB. Methods: We conducted qualitative in-depth interviews among eight TB-HIV patients, TB-diabe...

In this paper, we present a mathematical model for the study of resistance to tuberculosis treatment using fractional derivatives in Caputo sense. This takes into account relationship between Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and diabetes differentiates cases MDR-TB (multidrug-resistant tuberculosis) XDR-TB (extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis). We basic results associated with behavior disease-free ...

BACKGROUND: Brazil ranks 14 th worldwide in the number of TB cases and 19 terms TB-HIV co-infected cases. This study aims at identifying clinical demographic factors associated with unsuccessful treatment outcomes (loss to follow-up, failure death) HIV-positive patients multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB) Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. METHODS: was a retrospective cohort MDR-TB notified from 2000 2016 ...

BACKGROUND Caspase 8 is involved in apoptosis mediated by Fas and p55 tumor necrosis factor receptor ligation in HIV infection. Apoptosis is partially mediated by interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (caspase-1). AIMS We determined apoptosis, using caspase-1 and caspase-8, among patients with HIV infection, with and without tuberculosis (TB), those with TB alone and healthy individuals. SETT...

The current review evaluates how inflammasomes and immune checkpoints are regulated in pre-eclampsia (PE) associated with tuberculosis (TB) Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV). Studies indicate that such as (NRLP3, NEK7, AIM2) (CLT4, PD-1, TIM3, LAG-3) dysregulated TB- HIV-infected individuals, also pre-eclamptic pregnancies, which explains why pregnant women who either infected TB or HIV have ...

introduction: the objective of this study is to determine the degree and/or value of c.x.r usage in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (tb). therefore throughout our findings, the possibilities of diagnosing patient suffering from tb would increase when the most common radiographic evidence has been considered. materials & methods: this study is a descriptive and cross-sectional one in whi...
