BACKGROUND Currently available tools cannot be used to distinguish between sub-species of the M. tuberculosis complex causing latent tuberculosis (TB) infection. M. africanum causes up to half of TB in West- Africa and its relatively lower progression to disease suggests the presence of a large reservoir of latent infection relative to M. tuberculosis. METHODS We assessed the immunogenicity o...
Tuberculosis is a common and in many cases lethal infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. Most infections in humans result in an asymptomatic, latent infection and about one in ten latent infections eventually progresses to active disease. The mortality r...
Regulation of specific immune responses following exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in humans and the role of regulatory T (Treg) cells in the immune control of latent infection with M. tuberculosis are incompletely understood. Latent infection was assayed by an interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) in healthcare workers regularly exposed to tuberculosis (TB) patients and in household TB conta...
OBJECTIVE To identify the incidence of and risk factors for tuberculosis in people living with HIV (PLHIV). DESIGN Observational, prospective cohort study. METHODS A total of 2069 HIV-infected patients was observed between July 2007 and December 2010. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the probability of survival free of tuberculosis, and Cox regression analysis to identify risk f...
Tuberculosis control relies on the identification and preventive treatment of individuals who are latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, direct identification of latent tuberculosis infection is not possible. The diagnostic tests used to identify individuals latently infected with M. tuberculosis, the in vivo tuberculin skin test and the ex vivo interferon-gamma release ass...
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH 325 © 2012 The Authors. ANZJPH © 2012 Public Health Association of Australia After individuals have been exposed to tuberculosis (TB), tubercle bacilli may cause disease or remain quiescent but viable for many decades; this latter state is known as latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). During this phase, individuals are asymptomatic and pose n...
Tuberculosis is a public health problem worldwide, including in the United States-particularly among immunocompromised patients and other high-risk groups. Tuberculosis manifests in active and latent forms. Active disease can occur as primary tuberculosis, developing shortly after infection, or postprimary tuberculosis, developing after a long period of latent infection. Primary tuberculosis oc...
