Effect of gaseous pollutant and greenness exposure on mortality during treatment of newly treated tuberculosis patients: a provincial population-based cohort study
CONCLUSION: Gaseous pollutants are a risk factor during the treatment of newly treated TB patients and greenness exposure is a protective factor. Higher greenness exposure reduces the risk of death due to exposure to gaseous pollutants.PMID:37608175 | DOI:10.1007/s11356-023-29256-4

Heterogeneity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains Circulating in Panama's Western Region
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Aug 21:tpmd230039. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0039. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTuberculosis remains a challenge in both rural and urban areas. Although a majority of countries display a higher burden in urban areas compared with rural areas, Panama continues to report the highest mortality rate in Central America. Urban areas, such as Panama City, report a high tuberculosis burden, whereas Panama's western region, including the provinces of Chiriquí, Bocas del Toro (both semiurban) and Ngäbe-Bugle (rural), show a lower burden. We aimed to identify highly transmitted Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain...

Etiologic Investigation of Patients Diagnosed with Bacteriologically Unconfirmed Tuberculosis in Tanzania
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Aug 21:tpmd230023. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobally, half of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) are diagnosed clinically without bacteriologic confirmation. In clinically diagnosed PTB patients, we assessed both the proportion in whom PTB could be bacteriologically confirmed by reference standard diagnostic tests and the prevalence of diseases that mimic PTB. We recruited adult patients beginning treatment of bacteriologically unconfirmed PTB in Moshi, Tanzania, in 2019. We performed mycobacterial smear, Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra, and mycobacterial culture, fungal...

Bacterial dissemination in < em > Mycobacterium tuberculosis < /em > by CD+ T-cells & amp; proinflammatory cytokines
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings imply that increased bacilli in the spleen at the 8th wk of infection may be caused by the overexpression of CD4+ T-cell lymphocyte subsets and cytokines that generated inflammation during the 4th wk of infection. This is a pilot study with a small sample size and less assertive inference. Larger studies would be helpful to validate the results of the present investigation.PMID:37602585 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_2143_21

Clinical Characteristics of Tracheobronchopathia Osteochondroplastica: A Retrospective Study of 33 Patients
CONCLUSION: TO is a slowly progressing disease with non-specific clinical symptoms and a low positive rate of imaging diagnosis, making it susceptible to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. The disease needs to be diagnosed by combining imaging features, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and pathological findings.PMID:37601808 | PMC:PMC10438451 | DOI:10.2147/IJGM.S418394
