Drug-resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) is challenging public health problem in countries with high tuberculosis prevalence and limited resources. Developing and applying the most appropriate and effective methods for diagnosing DR-TB from clinical samples is necessary, allowing a more rapid detection method for large-scale screening.

Primary psoas tuberculosis is the presence of “Koch’s bacillus’’ within the iliopsoas muscle caused by hematogenous or lymphatic seeding from a distant site. Muscular tuberculosis has relatively low prevalence in comparison with other cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which explains the difficulties in establishing the diagnosis.

Tuberculosis remains a serious public health concern globally. The enormous social, economic, and health impacts of the diseases are attributed to the lack of updated data on the prevalence, geospatial distribution, population structures, and genotypic variants of the circulating M. tuberculosis.

Continuing evolution of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) complex genomes associated with resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs is threatening tuberculosis disease control efforts. Both multi- and extensively drug resistant Mtb (MDR and XDR, respectively) are increasing in prevalence, but the full set of Mtb genes involved are not known.

Xpert MTB/RIF has been shown to have a superior sensitivity to microscopy for acid fast bacilli (AFB) in sputum and has been recommended as a standard first line investigation for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Bronchoscopy is a valuable tool in diagnosing PTB in sputum negative patients.

Although there are theoretical reasons for believing that asthma and atopy may be negatively correlated with tuberculosis, epidemiological studies have had conflicting findings. In this urban environment in a middle-income country, prior tuberculosis may be associated with a reduced risk of atopy but does not protect against asthma and atopic disease.

Lung functions among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Dar es Salaam – a cross-sectional study
Approximately 40–60 % of patients remain sufferers of sequela of obstructive, restrictive or mixed patterns of lung disease despite treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). The prevalence of these abnormalities in Tanzania remains unknown.

With the exception of areas with high prevalence of tuberculosis, medical thoracoscopy is becoming the diagnostic modality of choice for exudative pleural effusions. The aims of this study were to determine the diagnostic yield and safety of medical thoracoscopy for exudative pleural effusions and ascertain the etiology of such effusions in Qatar.

Tuberculosis (TB) has been a major health problem globally since ages, and even today, it is a major cause of morbidity in millions of people each year. In 2015 alone, TB accounted for about 1.4 million deaths globally, with India carrying the biggest burden of the disease.

Though the declaration by the WHO of a ‘global TB emergency’ was in 1993, the emphasis has been more on adult disease. Pediatric TB was neglected, mainly due to greater challenges in diagnosis and the lower priority traditionally afforded to children by TB control programmes. As a result both research and surveillance data in the field of childhood TB have been greatly limited.

The association between tuberculosis and HIV presents an immediate and grave public health and socioeconomic threat, particularly in the developing world. The interaction of TB with HIV is two-folded, with TB being the leading cause of death among HIV infected, and HIV infection being the most potent risk factor for a latent TB infection to convert to active disease. The study was conducted on patients diagnosed with pulmonary and extra pulmonary tuberculosis, who were admitted in the wards of National Institute of Tuberculosis & Respiratory diseases (NITRD), New Delhi.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is one among the most common disease in developing countries. Candida species infection has always seemed to be associated with secondary infections in Tuberculosis. Candida species have been one of the co-infection challenges facing the patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. Hence this study was undertaken to find out the prevalence of Candida species in cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic disease leading cause of death and disability. The aim of our study was to describe the current situation of management and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at Thai Nguyen Hospital of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases in 2014–2018. This is descriptive study. The study found out prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in male patients accounted for 89.24%, 60–69 years old account for 40.18%. The patients had some related diseases including hypertension (63.29%), bronchitis (58.22%) and diabetes (51.64%).

Tuberculosis is a major public health problem and second largest cause of death among infectious diseases. Rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis and detection of drug resistance is essential for effective disease control. Control of TB is hindered by the lack of a simple and effective diagnostic tool that can be utilised in resource limited settings. Molecular techniques using Real time PCR technology have gained momentum for rapid diagnosis and detection of drug resistance.

The Ethiopian epidemic is currently on the wane. However, the situation for infected children is in some ways lagging behind due to low treatment coverage and deficient prevention of mother-to-child transmission.

HIV and TB co-infection is an alarming situation in the health care system. India has the third largest number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the world. This co-infection leads to difficulty in both diagnosis and treatment of TB resulting in increased mortality, morbidity, treatment failure and relapse. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of TB in PLHIV and also to determine its co-relation with the CD4 counts of the affected individuals. This is a prospective study conducted over a period of one year commencing from April 2017 to March 2018.
