Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the main cause of tuberculosis (TB), has still remained a global health crisis especially in developing countries. Tuberculosis treatment is a laborious and lengthy process with high risk of non compliance, cytotoxicity adverse events and drug resistance in patient. Recently, there has been an alarming rise of drug resistant in TB. In this regard, it is an unmet need...

People infected with Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) stay for a long time. Infected people may not develop tuberculosis disease and were asymptomatic. Once progressing to disease, it can affect most tissues organs, but especially the lungs.

Introduction: For a country with high Tuberculosis (TB) prevalence, infection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus covert co-infection Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) is real concern.

conclusions the results of this study demonstrated that the p450 cyp141 gene was successfully cloned into a pet26b plasmid vector as an expression vector. in this paper, for the first time in iran, this gene was cloned for more purposes, including the expression and purification of the recombinant cytochrome p450 cyp141 protein. results the cloning of p450 cyp141 gene was confirmed by the enzym...

introduction: development of effective immunodiagnostic methods for detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is crucial. serodiagnostic methods, based on antibody response to specific antigens could provide promising approaches for rapid, economical and easy to perform diagnostic tests which are crucial for tuberculosis (tb) control. in this study, the level of igg antibody responses a...

Four cases of polyarthritis concomitant with active tuberculosis is reported. In three patients pulmonary tuberculosis was confirmed by identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens, and in another one tuberculous lymphadenitis was confirmed by excisional biopsy. In all patients arthritis resolved by tuberculosis treatment and did not recur ...

papillon-lefevre syndrome (pls) is a very rare genetic syndrome, and fewer than 500 cases have been reported in the world. patients exhibit typical cutaneous involvement with hyperkeratosis, especially on the soles and palms, and early shedding of primary teeth. internal organ involvements, such as liver abscesses, have been described in case reports. this  communication  represents  the  first...

we investigated the use of dna amplification by polymerase chain reaction (per) for detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis in 300 patients who were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis and compared the results with culture results which were performed in parallel with pcr. two-thirds of each sample was processed for smear and culture by standard methods and one-third was prepared for dna...
