However, its diverse clinical manifestations sometimes involve acute inflammatory reactions. These complications result in irreversible nerve damage, neuritis and anatomical deformities that emerge before, during the treatment or after the completion of treatment. Reversal reaction (Type-I) and erythema nodosum leprosum (Type-II) are the leprosy reactions generally seen in patients with lepromatous and borderline forms of leprosy. At present, there is no accurate diagnostic test available to detect these leprosy reactions.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000To identify potential biomarkers indicative of Type-I and Type-II leprosy reactions that could help in their early diagnosis.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Host-transcriptomics investigations have been utilised in this study to decipher a correlation between host-gene expression-based biomarkers and exacerbation of leprosy reactions. We present a comparative analysis of publicly available host transcriptomics datasets (from Gene Expression Omnibus) related to leprosy reactions. Individual datasets were analysed and integration of results was carried out using meta-analysis. Common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the frequentist and Bayesian ratio association test methods. We have identified several genes – ADAMTS5, ADAMTS9, IFITM2, IFITM3, KIRREL, ANK3, CD1E, CTSF, DOCK9 and KRT73 to name a few – which can serve as potential biomarkers for Type-II reaction. Similarly, ACP5, APOC1, CCL17, S100B, SLC11A1 among others may likely serve as biomarkers for Type-I reaction.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The number of datasets related to leprosy reactions found after the systematic search is less (n = 4) and may limit the accuracy of identified biomarker genes. This could be resolved by including more studies in the data analysis.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000We provide a comprehensive list of gene candidates which could be prioritised further in research focusing on immune reactions in leprosy, as they are likely important in understanding its complexities and could be useful in its early diagnosis.\u0000","PeriodicalId":513160,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141677220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives of this review include characterising BV biofilms, evaluating the limitations of current antibiotic therapy, highlighting emerging solutions and emphasising multifaceted approaches. The review presents data from clinical studies and trials on biofilm-focused treatments which might reduce BV recurrence, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of life of women with BV and reducing its burden on their reproductive health.","PeriodicalId":513160,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141680327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
