Aims: To report a case of Tuberculous osteomyelitis mandible in young child and highlights the difficulties establishing diagnosis with clinical cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging findings.
 Presentation Case: A 8-year old who presented diffuse swelling cheek without evidence any active primary foci tuberculosis. On basis findings radiographic analysis, antitubercular therapy (AT...

A postmenopausal pyometra caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an extremely rare disease. Here, we present a case of a postmenopausal woman with pyometra caused by endometrial tuberculosis. Patient was given empirical antibiotic therapy but she did not respond to it and there was persistence of symptoms. Pus was drained through stenotic canal after cervical dilatation. On endometrial curetta...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiological agent of tuberculosis. The World Health Organization has estimated that 8 million of people develop active TB every year and the situation is complicated by an increase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains resistant to drugs used in antitubercular therapy: MDR and XDR-TB. Myrtle leaf extracts, used as an antiseptic in Sardinian traditional medicine...

Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease that can affect any part of the body, including the mouth. An upsurge in the number of tuberculosis cases, with a strong association with HIV infection, has been noted. We present a case of tuberculosis that clinically resembles a malignant chronic ulcer in the retromolar trigone-an uncommon site of occurrence. Histologically, the case demonstrated a...

Snow banking is usually a term coined to describe the accumulation of vitreous exudates over the pars plana and the peripheral retina in pars planitis. Snow banking is very rare in tubercular intermediate uveitis. A 32-year-old male was diagnosed to have intermediate uveitis due to tubercular etiology in the right eye. Laboratory investigations include an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rat...

Tuberculosis has staged a global comeback and forms a dangerous combination with AIDS. The abdomen is one of the common sites of extrapulmonary involvement. Patients with abdominal tuberculosis have a wide range and spectrum of symptoms and signs; the disease is therefore a great minmc. Diagnosis, mainly radiological and supported by endoscopy, is difficult to make and laparotomy is required in...

A series of 4-(2,5-dimethylpyrrol-1-yl)/4-pyrrol-1-yl benzoic acid hydrazide analogs, some derived triazoles, azetidinones, thiazolidinones, and pyrroles have been synthesized in good yields and structures of these compounds were established by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, mass spectral, and elemental analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their preliminary in vitro antibacterial, antifungal,...

This study was aimed with an objective to investigate the antimicrobial, antifungal and antitubercular activity of different parts of Adansonia digitata L. The leaves, Root bark, and Fruit pulp were extracted with methanol. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of the extracts were determined using Broth dilution and Agar disc diffusion method and antitubercular activity was determined usin...

The World Health Organization strongly recommends using daily antituberculosis therapy (ATT) during the intensive phase for HIV infected patients. India has the highest burden of tuberculosis in the world, but HIV infected patients are still receiving intermittent ATT. In this study we compared the mortality in patients who received directly-observed intermittent ATT versus self-administered da...

Introduction. Current therapeutic regimens with first-line antitubercular agents are associated to a high rate of adverse effects which could cause pronounced changes in collagen's contents and structure. Investigation of these changes is very important for optimization of antitubercular therapy and minimization of treatment-caused harm. The aim of present paper was to investigate potential eff...
