Latent Tuberculosis Infection - Diagnosis and Treatment

Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018
INTRODUCTION: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is defined as a state of persistent immune response to stimulation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active tuberculosis (TB). Diagnosis and treatment for LTBI are important for TB, especially in high-risk populations.

Effect of Anti‐IL‐23 and Anti‐IL‐17 Therapy on Darier Disease: A Case Series

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Darier disease is a rare ATP2A2‐related genodermatosis for which therapeutic options remain limited, as acitretin is often constrained by toxicity and teratogenicity. In this retrospective real‐world case series of eight patients, anti‐IL‐17 therapy showed a more consistent early signal of clinical benefit than anti‐IL‐23 therapy, with greater
