Tuberculosis (T.B.) remains a prominent global cause of health challenges and death, exacerbated by drug-resistant strains such as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis MDR-TB and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis XDR-TB. For an effective disease ma...
BACKGROUND: Computer-aided detection (CAD) can help identify people with active tuberculosis left undetected. However, few studies have compared the performance of commercially available CAD products for screening in high tuberculosis and high HIV se...
INTRODUCTION: Pakistan has significantly strengthened its capacity for active case finding (ACF) for tuberculosis (TB) that is being implemented at scale in the country. However, yields of ACF have been lower than expected, raising concerns on its ef...
INTRODUCTION: Isoniazid is a first-line antituberculosis agent with high variability, which would profit from individualized dosing. Concentrations of isoniazid at 2 h (C), as an indicator of safety and efficacy, are important for optimizing therapy.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection diagnosis remains a challenge due to its overlapping clinical symptoms with tuberculosis (TB), leading to inappropriate treatment. Herein, we employed noninvasive metabolic phenotyping coupled with comprehe...
