Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison of Tuberculin Skin Test and Interferon Gamma Assay for the Diagnosis Latent TuberculosisAbolfazl Poorhasan, Mehdi Haghdoost, Omid MashrabiProblem statement: After HIV infection, TB is the most common cause of mortality due to a single infectious agent. Until 1985, tuberculosis cases in the world were decreasing every year, but then with the prevalence of HIV infection, TB cases are increasing every year. Obviously, with this prevalence of tuberculosis, the best way to control it is to track the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Antioxidant Vitamins C and E Supplementation on its Plasma Levels and on Lipid Profile in Pulmonary Tuberculosis PatientsM. Madhavi, P. Samudram, A. Hemanth Kumar, Lalitha VictorProblem statement: Patients with active pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) are malnourished as indicated by reductions in lean mass, anthropometric indices and micronutrient status. Supplementation with vitamins may prove to be beneficial. Limited information is available on the supplementation of vitamin C and E in pulmonary TB patients. Hence, the present study was undertaken to address the question whether any benefit could … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Typhonium Flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume TuberSyam Mohan, Ahmad Bustamam Abdul, Siddig Ibrahim Abdel Wahab et al.Problem Statement: Multiple drug resistance in human pathogenic micro organisms has developed due to indiscriminate use of modern antimicrobial drugs generally used in the management of infectious diseases. This increases the importance of exploiting the natural sources instead modern drugs. Approach: The antibacterial and antioxidant activity of different extracts from of Typhonium flagelliforme (L.) Blume tuber (family: Araceae) commonly called … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFeatures in Tubercular Meningoencephalitis Diagnosis: 18 Childhood CasesP. Di Carlo, D. Cabibi, A. Casuccio et al.The aim of this research is to illustrate clinical and instrumental features of central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) in childhood in order to allow prompt diagnosis and adequate patient management. TB remains one of the most important communicable diseases and represents a major global health problem. Although pulmonary TB tends to be the most common form of the disease, the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCentral Nervous System Tuberculomas: A Review ArticleMutasem Abuhamed, Xiao Bo, Cai YanCentral Nervous System Tuberculomas (CNSTs), the most dangerous form of tubercolomas, remains a public health problem, particularly in the developing country. Central nervous system tuberculomas, either single or multiple, usually presents as a diagnostic challenge because it resembles many other infectious and non-infectious medical conditions, particularly in patients without constitutional symptoms or evidence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body. Here … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMathematical Model to Simulate Tuberculosis Disease Population DynamicsO.K. Koriko, T.T. YusufA mathematical model to depict Tuberculosis disease population dynamics was presented. The model population was compartmentalised as appropriate and the resulting model equations were solved numerically while different instances of the disease transmission were simulated. The graphical profiles of the various sub-populations with time were presented and discussed based on the results from our simulations. Also, the disease-free and endemic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,623 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMathematical Model Mathematical Models for the Dynamics of Tuberculosis in Density-dependent Populations: The Case of Internally Displaced Peoples' Camps (IDPCs) in UgandaA. Ssematimba, J. Y.T. Mugisha, L.S. LuboobiMathematical models are formulated to establish the conditions (restrictions) on the size of the area occupied required minimizing and thereafter eradicating tuberculosis. Both numerical and qualitative analyses of the model are done and the effect of variation in the area size and recruitment rate on the different epidemiological groups is investigated. The results of the analysis show that there exists … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHumoral Immune Response in Tuberculous PleuritisPrabha C., Kripa V. Jalapathy, Sulochana D. DasTuberculous pleuritis is a good human model to understand the local and protective immune response against tuberculosis, due to the self-limitedness of the disease. Although the cellular immune response has been well characterised in tuberculous pleurisy, much less is known about the humoral immune response operating at the site of infection. To understand the humoral immune response, B cells were … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolecular Genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from TurkeyBerrin Gencer, Thomas M. ShinnickTo survey the circulating strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Turkey, all clinical isolates (381 patients) recovered in laboratories in six cities during one-month periods were collected and typed by IS6110-DNA fingerprinting and spoligotyping. Drug susceptibilities were also determined. About 23% of the isolates were resistant to one or more drugs and about 4% were multidrug resistant (i.e., resistant to at … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExogenous Re-infection by Multiple Exposures to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Contributes to Subsequent Development of Active TuberculosisDiane J. Ordway, Miguel Viveiros, Fernando A. Ventura et al.The majority of tuberculosis (TB) exists in the world’s poorest countries, where costly biosafety level three facilities for containment of infectious TB patients and diagnostic facilities are not affordable. Health care workers (HCWs), in countries with high burdens of tuberculosis (TB) are at risk of nosocomially acquired TB, as there are increased numbers of cases of TB on open hospital … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
