BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS. FAMILY TUBERCULOSIS

Journal of the American Medical Association · 1909

The papers on tuberculosis contained in the present issue deal with two phases of the subject, one the relation of human to bovine tuberculosis, the other tuberculous infection within the family. Both have important bearing on the general problem of prevention, and can not be too often or too carefully considered so long as there are dubious points needing elucidation. Pottenger's views, based on clinical observation of the reaction of patients with different forms of tuberculosis to human and bovine tuberculin, lead him to favor the idea that while both human and bovine bacilli may attack man the bovine bacilli gain a foothold with difficulty, probably on account of differences in the soil. Conversely, human bacilli gain a foothold in cattle with difficulty for the same reasons. In other words, while human and bovine bacilli are closely allied subspecies, which probably originated from a common ancestor, each has lived so

Tuberculosis or Not Tuberculosis: Temporal Evolution of Patellar Tuberculosis

S. Saxena, Palak Bhikharbhai Patel, Drushi Patel et al. · Indian Journal of Musculoskeletal Radiology · 2020

Patellar tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon occurrence and has been sparsely reported in the literature. Imaging plays a key role in its diagnosis, as clinical symptoms vary and are often unspecific. We present two cases of isolated patellar tuberculosis, its classical imaging features, and follow-up serial imaging.

Tuberculosis: A Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection

Muhammad Imran Qadir, Faryal Batool · BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBLISHERS eBooks · 2020

Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can adversely affect the lungs and other parts of the body. It can be easily transmitted and can even cause death if not treated on time. In a report by WHO 10.4 million people were infected with TB in 2016. People with a weakened immune system, poverty, malnutrition are more susceptible to this disease. Different skin TST and blood tests IGRAs followed by chest radiography are conducted for diagnosis and confirmation of this disease. Antibiotics such as isoniazid, rifampicin, or rifapentine are prescribed in case of infection. BCG vaccine is effective for infants and not recommended for adults.

TUBERCULOSIS GENOTYPING NETWORK National Tuberculosis

Jack T. Crawford · 2013

year, prospective study of the usefulness of genotyping Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates to tuberculosis control programs. Seven sentinel sites identified all new cases of tuberculosis, collected information on patients and contacts, and obtained patient isolates. Seven genotyping laboratories performed DNA fingerprinting analysis by the international standard IS6110 method. BioImage Whole Band Analyzer software was used to analyze patterns, and distinct patterns were assigned unique designations. Isolates with six or fewer bands on IS6110 patterns were also spoligotyped. Patient data and genotyping designations were entered in a relational database and merged with selected variables from the national surveillance database. In two related databases, we compiled the results of routine contact investigations and the results of investigations of the relationships of patients who had isolates with matching genotypes. We describe the methods used in the study.
