Urogenital tuberculosis does not have pathognomonic symptoms, so diagnostic errors are quite common. This systematic review of literature was conducted to identify the causes and estimate the incidence of erroneous diagnoses. We critically evaluated some articles in which the authors describe observations...
Two new studies have cast unprecedented light on disease processes in tuberculosis, identifying key genetic changes that cause damage in the lungs and a drug treatment that could speed up recovery. Tuberculosis (TB) is alung infectionthat has killed more humans than any other, and until last year...
DARBY, Pa. (CBS) -- Someone from the William Penn School District in Delaware County tested positive for tuberculosis. Now, the health department is trying to identify exactly who was exposed. Parents of Penn Wood Middle School students in Darby have more questions than answers after the school...
where they will be slaughtered. Next, post-mortem examinations are completed to collect tissue for gross pathology and for bacterial cultures. At the same time, PCR is used to identify the presence ofMycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC)DNA, which saves a lot of time ...
Tuberculosis is a respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis can be difficult to cure due to the molecular structure of the bacteria and the body's response, which can entomb the bacteria in the lung tissue....
Scientists have unlocked a key element in understanding how human lungs fight tuberculosis (TB). They hope their research findings, which were published today in the international peer reviewed journal Immunity, will help pave the way towards new treatme
Detailed history, ocular, systemic/neurologic examination along with appropriate laboratory evaluation can help clinicians to identify the infectious agent causing optic neuropathy. In spite of recent advanced techniques in serological testing and molecular diagnostics like polymerase chain reaction (PCR), ...
An absence of immune correlates of protection is a barrier to vaccine development.The immune mechanisms behind tuberculosis progression are not understood.Fluorescent Mtb reporter strains identify permissive and controller host cells.Bacterial burden can be impacted by the magnitude of host cell population...
specialists were able to identify that a patient's condition was getting worse after remotely examining three separate chest CT scans on February 2, 4, and 6. They proposed transferring the patient from a county hospital to a municipal hospital, so that the appropriate treatment could be delivere...
Kaufmann Tuberculosis poses a significant threat to mankind. Multidrug-resistant strains are on the rise, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is often associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Satisfactory control of tuberculosis can only be achieved using a highly efficacious vaccine. ...
