Results. A total of 52 patients were included, with a severe form in 22/52 (42.3%) cases. Culture was positive for MTBC in 33/46 (71.7%) cases. Histological analysis showed granulomas in 36/45 (80.0%) cases. An Ultra trace result with a presumptive diagnosis of TB led t...

“If you have a positive test, it could just mean you have latent tuberculosis. So in that case, what we do is we give you medicine so that one year, two years, five years, 10 years, 20 years down the line, you don’t develop that active infection,” Hawkinson sa...
These results demonstrated that the majority of patients finished their treatment without having a sputum test. By starting the sputum test at the appropriate moment, stakeholders should take measurable action to increase the cure rate compared to the completion rate. It is concerning that some TB ...
MSCs serve as a niche forMtbduring in vivo infection allowing drug tolerance in PGE2 dependent manner While all the results so far were performed on human primary adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, we next wanted to explore whether these cells get involved during in vivo infection in...
In our multicentre cohort study and cost-effectiveness analysis we analysed demographic and test results from three centres in the UK (from 2008 to 2010) that used interferon-γ release-assay (IGRA) to screen immigrants aged 35 years or younger for latent tuberculosis infection. We assessed factor...
tuberculosisstrains, which are resistant torifampicinand isoniazid. It should be suspected in patients living in high MDR-TB endemic areas or those who have had previousTB treatment. New rapid molecular-based diagnostic tests, such as the GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay, can provide results operationally ...
results, Huang et al. adapted the CRISPR-TB method to a lateral immunochromatographic POC test which can improve the microbiological diagnosis. Regarding affordability, this technology combined with isothermal amplification methods can lead to a significant reduction in equipment costs. However, non-PCR...
network of STB genotypes (Fig. 1). Consistently, this reticulation was even increased when whole-genome shotgun–derived sequence data from four additional STB strains were included (Supplementary Fig. 6), further confirming the MLST-derived phylogeny at the genome level. The Phi test for recombin...
Table 1 Summary of IGRA test results. Full size table Among these samples, the ELISA results obtained when using individual ESAT6 or CFP10 or both antigens in combination, are shown in Supplementary Fig.4. Comparing ESAT6 and CFP10 single antigen revealed that ESAT6 elicited more robust IFN...
