PCR colorimetric dot-blot assay and clinical pretest probability for diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Smear-Negative patients
(2007)
Abstract
Background
Smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis (SNPTB) accounts for 30% of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) cases ...
The presence of a booster phenomenon among contacts of active pulmonary tuberculosis cases: a retrospective cohort
(2007)
Abstract
Background
Assuming a higher risk of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection in the population of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, ...
The response of hepatic acute phase proteins during experimental pulmonary tuberculosis
(1998)
A mouse model of pulmonary tuberculosis induced by the intratracheal instillation of live and virulent mycobacteria strain H37-Rv was used to study the relationship of the histopathological changes with the kinetics of ...

A case report of esophageal tuberculosis
We report the case of an immune-competent man with symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to esophageal ulcers of tubercular origin. Gastrointestinal involvement from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is rare even ...
Genetic Influence of PTPN22 R620W Polymorphism in Tuberculosis
The PTPN22 gene codes for an intracellular lymphoid-specific phosphatase (Lyp) that has a negative regulatory effect on T-cell activation. Because Lyp is an important molecule involved in the inflammatory response, and its ...
Neonatal BCG Immunization Followed by DNAhsp65 Boosters: Highly Immunogenic but not Protective Against Tuberculosis - a Paradoxical Effect of the Vector?
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-02-01)
A new tuberculosis vaccine is urgently needed. Prime-boost strategies are considered very promising and the inclusion of BCG is highly desirable. In this investigation, we tested the protective efficacy of BCG delivered ...

Lipoarabinomannan antigenic epitope differences in tuberculosis disease subtypes
(Springer Nature, 2020)
An accurate urine test for diverse populations with active tuberculosis could be transformative for preventing TB deaths. Urinary liporabinomannan (LAM) testing has been previously restricted to HIV co-infected TB patients. ...
