the higher the NPV will be. Vice versa, the higher the specificity of a screening test, and the higher the LTBI prevalence, the higher the PPV. Of note, in contrast to specificity of a test for LTBI which can be measured by testing healthy persons without...
Empiric treatment starts with a 4-drug regimen of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and either ethambutol or streptomycin; this therapy is subsequently adjusted according to susceptibility testing results and toxicity. Pregnant women, children, HIV-infected patients, and patients infected with drug-...
TB Skin Testing A TB skin test is used to determine if a person already has immunity to the Tuberculosis bacteria. This can occur if someone has TB, if they were exposed to TB in the past, or if they received the BCG vaccine. A liquid is injected in the top layers of skin on the...
Additionally, the positive and negative predictive values of TST and QFT-GIT testing for the identification of initially asymptomatic children that progressed to active TB and would thus have benefited from preventive treatment were calculated. Statistical analysis Test concordance was calculated using the...

An impediment to the rational development of novel drugs against tuberculosis (TB) is a general paucity of knowledge concerning the metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, particularly during infection. Constraint-based modeling provides a novel approa
If successful, a distinct gene-expression profile will aid in blood-based diagnosis (point of care testing) as well as treatment monitoring and would lead to earlier diagnosis of this devastating disease. Trial registration: The study has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05610098)....
Previous studies have investigated patients’ genetic phenotypes of NAT2 and SLCO1B1 with small numbers of samples [54, 57], and compared to previous reports, our cohort includes one of the largest numbers of patients who have undergone genetic testing. There had been few domestic studies on ...
