Machine learning model based on SERPING1, C1QB, and C1QC: A novel diagnostic approach for latent tuberculosis infection

iLABMED, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 248-265, December 2024.
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is an important source of active tuberculosis (ATB), but there is currently a lack of effective diagnostic tools to distinguish ATB from LTBI. In this study, by integrating transcriptome data analysis, a machine learning algorithm and protein interaction network analysis, an LTBI diagnosis model based on SERPING1 ...

Aqueous extract‐mediated green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles: Potential anti‐tuberculosis agents

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 5907-5921, August 2024.
In sum, the mixture of garlic extract and nanoparticles at 100 mg/kg body weight of rats inhibited tuberculosis infection. It exhibited antibacterial activity and antioxidant properties in lung tissue and prevented lung damage. The results are promising and show that garlic extract and nanoparticles can be utilized to prevent tuberculosis.

Accurate diagnosis of latent tuberculosis in children, people who are immunocompromised or at risk from immunosuppression and recent arrivals from countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis: systematic review and economic evaluation

, 2016
Background - Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) [(Zopf 1883) Lehmann and Neumann 1896], is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Nearly one-third of the world’s population is infected with MTB; TB has an annual incidence of

Utility of the interferon-gamma release assay for latent tuberculosis infection screening among indian health-care workers

Indian Journal of Community Medicine, 2021
Background: The utility of interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening among health-care workers (HCWs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains unclear.

Revisiting Bacille Calmette‐Guérin revaccination strategies: timing of immunization, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non‐tuberculous mycobacteria infections, strain potency and standardization of randomized controlled trials

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 4, Issue 3, June 2024.
1) Bacille Calmette‐Guérin (BCG) revaccination timing is crucial for enhancing immunity, particularly in adolescents and young adults. 2) Prior Mycobacterium tuberculosis or non‐tuberculous mycobacteria infections may influence the perceived efficacy of BCG revaccination.

Analysis of cellular and soluble profiles in QuantiFERON nonconverters, converters, and reverters in the Gambia

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 260-270, December 2019., 2019
Here we show immunological factors contributing to QFT conversion and reversion. Our findings provide insight into mechanisms underlying ‘resistance’ to Mycobacterium tuberculosis which could be harnessed for novel immune‐based therapeutics. Abstract Background Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent worldwide ...
