Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in School Contacts of Tuberculosis Cases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2024 Apr 23:tpmd230038. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0038. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSubstantial tuberculosis transmission occurs outside of households, and tuberculosis surveillance in schools has recently been proposed. However, the yield of tuberculosis outcomes from school contacts is not well characterized. We assessed the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection among close school contacts by performing a systematic review. We searched PubMed, Elsevier, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases. Studies reporting the number of children who were tested overall and who tes...

Cell wall synthesizing complexes in Mycobacteriales
Curr Opin Microbiol. 2024 Apr 22;79:102478. doi: 10.1016/j.mib.2024.102478. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMembers of the order Mycobacteriales are distinguished by a characteristic diderm cell envelope, setting them apart from other Actinobacteria species. In addition to the conventional peptidoglycan cell wall, these organisms feature an extra polysaccharide polymer composed of arabinose and galactose, termed arabinogalactan. The nonreducing ends of arabinose are covalently linked to mycolic acids (MAs), forming the immobile inner leaflet of the highly hydrophobic MA membrane. The contiguous outer leaflet of the MA membra...

Expression of HLA-DR and KLRG1 enhances the cytotoxic potential and cytokine secretion capacity of CD3 < sup > + < /sup > T cells in tuberculosis patients
CONCLUSIONS: Expression of HLA-DR and KLRG1 enhances the cytotoxic potential and cytokine secretion capacity of CD3+ T cells in TB patients, suggesting CD3+ T cells expressing HLA-DR and KLRG1 are important effector cell phenotypes involved in the host anti-TB infection. HLA-DR and KLRG1 expressed by CD3+ T cells may be potential predictive markers of TB disease progression and clinical immune assessment.PMID:38652959 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112115 (Source: International Immunopharmacology)

CBNAAT: An Emerging Xpert in Diagnosis of Head and Neck Tuberculosis
ConclusionCBNAAT has a promising role in early diagnosis of head and neck tuberculosis as well as other cases of smear negative tuberculosis such as MDR TB and TB-HIV and is optimal for the diagnosis of lymph node tuberculosis and helps in early identification and initiation of treatment. Sensitivity of CBNAAT scored twice as high in comparison with microscopy thus doubling the proportion of rapid diagnoses with important effect on the patient ’s outcome.
