Abstract The availability of safety data, particularly concerning adverse events (AEs) associated with the new shorter regimen for drug‐resistant tuberculosis (TB) containing a bedaquiline–pretomanid‐based regimen, is still limited. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive and updated analysis of AEs related to this new regimen by ...

Coexisting Pyogenic and Tuberculous Liver Abscess in Uncontrolled Diabetes: A Diagnostic Challenge
ABSTRACT Hepatic tuberculosis can mimic pyogenic liver abscess, particularly in patients with uncontrolled diabetes. Persistent or atypical hepatic lesions unresponsive to antibiotics should prompt tissue diagnosis using histopathology and molecular assays like GeneXpert to ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate management.

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.
