Background: With regard to existence of all conditions for spreading tuberculosis(TB) in prison including overcrowding, HIV, Injection Drug Users (IDU), malnutrition and poverty, and on the other hand as TB is the most important cause of mortality / morbidity in HIV patients and prisoners, so prisons are one of the main sources of transmission of Multi Drug Resistance Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) to c...
BACKGROUND Simple biomarkers are required to identify TB in both HIV(-)TB(+) and HIV(+)TB(+) patients. Earlier studies have identified the M. tuberculosis Malate Synthase (MS) and MPT51 as immunodominant antigens in TB patients. One goal of these investigations was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of anti-MS and -MPT51 antibodies as biomarkers for TB in HIV(-)TB(+) and HIV(+)TB(+) pa...
The WHO recommends integrating interventions to address the devastating TB/HIV co-epidemics in South Africa, yet integration has been poorly implemented and TB/HIV control efforts need strengthening. Identifying infected individuals is particularly difficult in rural settings. We used mathematical modeling to predict the impact of community-based, integrated TB/HIV case finding and additional c...
BACKGROUND HIV/TB coinfection remains a major challenge even after the initiation of HAART. Little is known about Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) specific immune restoration in relation to immunologic and virologic outcomes after long-term HAART during co-infections with latent and active TB. METHODS A total of 232 adults, including 59 HIV patients with clinical TB (HIV + TB+), 125 HIV patie...
Abstract Background Treatment monitoring of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) in resource-limited settings is challenging. We developed a multi-analyte assay for eleven anti-TB drugs small hair samples as an objective metric drug exposure. Methods Small were collected from participants at various timepoints during directly observed RR-TB treatment inpatient tertiary referral facility South Af...
Background & Aim: Among infectious diseases, tuberculosis(TB) is the second leading cause of death worldwide, killing nearly 2 million people each year. Defining high-risk groups(IDUs= Injection Drug Users), cases of diabetes mellitus(DM), and those having close contact with TB patients) is vital in terms of diagnosis, prevention, and control programs. The aim of this study is to determine th...
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic has caused a resurgence of tuberculosis (TB), thus increasing morbidity and mortality. Moreover, HIV-TB coinfection leads to difficulties in diagnosis. Sputum smear microscopy, mycobacterial culture GeneXpert MTB/RIF assays are generally endorsed detect Mycobacterium ( M. ) coinfection. However, these methods cannot diagnose TB an accurate timely ...
AIM To describe the burden of tuberculosis (TB) in Cape Town by calculating TB incidence rates stratified by age and HIV-status, assessing the contribution of retreatment disease and estimating the cumulative lifetime TB risk in HIV-negative individuals. METHODS Details of TB cases were abstracted from the 2009 electronic TB register. Population denominators were estimated from census data an...
background there is limited data on outcomes of adolescents with drug-resistant tuberculosis (dr-tb). objectives to describe patient outcomes and factors associated with outcomes of adolescents diagnosed with dr-tb in khayelitsha, south africa. patients and methods a retrospective analysis of data for adolescents aged 10-19 years who were diagnosed with dr-tb between january 2008 and august 201...
Background: The TB/HIV Working Group (WG) of the Stop TB Partnership works to reduce the global burden of HIV-related TB through effective collaboration between TB and HIV programmes and communities, and establishing policies, targets, and monitoring and evaluation systems for evidence-based collaborative TB/HIV activities. The WG developed the Interim Policy on Collaborative TB/HIV Activities ...
