Refining cytokine signatures: flow cytometry–based differentiation between TB infection and disease

IJTLD Open
BACKGROUND: Distinguishing TB infection (TBI) from TB disease remains difficult because routine tests, including tuberculin skin test and interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), cannot separate these states.

Investigation of Specific IgG‐Secreting Cells in Congenital Toxoplasmosis: The TOXODIAG Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 14, July 2026.
This study addressed the difficulty of establishing a postnatal biological diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis, particularly in the absence of toxoplasmosis monitoring during pregnancy, as is the case in many countries. Our work presents an ELISPOT (Enzyme‐Linked Immunospot) method adapted for the detection of B lymphocytes primed to produce IgG ...

Performances at Festival Periods in the Year and the “As If” Concept

Traditiones, 2012
While a researcher may be actively involved in fieldwork, the full understanding that both researcher and performer desire is bound to involve a theoretical dimension, which becomes especially vital when reference has to be made to the past. Performances

Diagnostic Performance of Comprehensive Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound for Pediatric Tuberculosis in Spain: A Prospective Observational Study

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1425-1432, July/August 2026.
In children with presumptive tuberculosis, comprehensive point‐of‐care (cPOCUS) identified key thoracic abnormalities with high specificity and excellent inter‐reader reliability. Although diagnostic sensitivity was modest and examinations often incomplete, cPOCUS shows promise as a complementary, radiation‐free imaging tool.

Endovascular Coil Embolization of Ruptured Idiopathic Multiple Bilateral Pulmonary Artery Aneurysms: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Idiopathic multiple bilateral pulmonary artery aneurysms are exceptionally rare, and evidence guiding their management remains limited. We describe a young man presenting with hemoptysis caused by a ruptured aneurysm who was successfully treated with endovascular coil embolization, resulting in complete symptom resolution. This case adds to the limited

Atypical Behavior in a Typical Carcinoid: When Minimal Proliferation Meets Lympho‐Vascular Invasion—A Case Report

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 14, July 2026.
Left: A 46‐year‐old non‐smoking female with a 2.4 cm right hilar mass (cT1cN0M0). Middle: Postoperative pathology reveals discordance between low proliferation (Ki‐67 < 2%) and unexpected focal lympho‐vascular invasion, with concomitant granulomatous inflammation. Right: After VATS lobectomy (pN0) and active surveillance, no recurrence occurred over 20

Blood Immunopathology of Tuberculosis Patients Disrupts Monocyte‐Dependent T‐Cell Activation and Cytokine Expression

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 494-505, July 2026.
TB serum selectively disrupts monocyte‐dependent PHA T cell activation and cytokines associated with proliferation while preserving SEB T cell and Pam3/PHA monocyte cytokine responses. ABSTRACT Pulmonary tuberculosis in humans is characterised by features of immunopathology, which influence both antimycobacterial therapy and the long‐term prognosis. In

IL-17 Production from T Helper 17, Mucosal-Associated Invariant T, and γδ Cells in Tuberculosis Infection and Disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
IL-17-producing cells have been shown to be important in the early stages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection in animal models. However, there are very little data on the role of IL-17 in human studies of tuberculosis (TB).

Within-subject variability of interferon-g assay results for tuberculosis and boosting effect of tuberculin skin testing: a systematic review.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundVariability in interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) results for tuberculosis has implications for interpretation of results close to the cut-point, and for defining thresholds for test conversion and reversion. However, little is known about

Antenatal screening for TB disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

IJTLD Open
OBJECTIVES: TB disease during pregnancy is associated with poor maternal and neonatal outcomes, and is a leading non-obstetric cause of maternal death. However, optimal detection strategies remain uncertain.
