Diagnostic Accuracy of Intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis Detection for Tuberculous Meningitis.
Conclusion Enhanced bacterial detection by simple modification of the Ziehl-Neelsen stain and an ESAT-6 intracellular stain improve the laboratory diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis. PMID: 24450377 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Timing of Tuberculosis Transmission and the Impact of Household Contact Tracing: An Agent-Based Simulation Model.
Conclusions: Household contact tracing is unlikely to transform TB epidemiology in isolation but has the potential - especially with provision of preventive therapy - to augment a comprehensive package of interventions that could substantially reduce the population-level burden of TB.

Bacillus Calmette-Guérin and isoniazid preventive therapy protect contacts of tuberculosis patients.
Conclusions: These findings support the use of IPT in older child and young-adult household contacts, in addition to children <5 years. PMID: 24592878 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Tuberculosis, pulmonary cavitation and matrix metalloproteinases.
Abstract Tuberculosis (TB), a chronic infectious disease of global importance, is facing the emergence of drug-resistant strains with few new drugs to treat the infection. Pulmonary cavitation, the hallmark of established disease, is associated with very high bacillary burden. Cavitation may lead to delayed sputum culture conversion, emergence of drug resistance, and transmission of the infection. The host immunological reaction to M. tuberculosis is implicated in driving the development of TB cavities. TB is characterized by a matrix degrading phenotype in which the activity of proteolytic matrix metalloproteinas...

Xpert MTB/RIF as a measure of sputum bacillary burden: variation by HIV status and immunosuppression.
Conclusions: We observed decreasing bacillary burden with increasing level of immunosuppression as measured by Xpert MTB/RIF cycle threshold values. A cycle threshold value of 28 can be used as a measure of bacterial burden and smear status in a high HIV burden setting. Word count: 250. PMID: 24786895 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Is Previous Respiratory Disease a Risk Factor for Lung Cancer?
Conclusions: Findings from this large international case-control consortium indicate that after accounting for co-occurring respiratory diseases, chronic bronchitis and emphysema continue to have a positive association with lung cancer. PMID: 25054566 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
