The aim of this analysis was to validate a recently developed contact score that assessed settings of exposure and relationships between the case and contact.Methods: In a cross-sectional study from Kampala, Uganda, we estimated the prevalence of tuberculous infection (TBI) in social contacts of adult TB cases according to the setting and relationship domains of the contact score. We calculated the prevalence ratio (PR) for the association between contact scores (by domain) with TBI using modified Poisson regression models.Results: We enrolled 955 household and community contacts from 119 TB cases. The prevalence of TBI in the social network was 52% (95% CI 48-55). The prevalence of TBI increased by quartile for both the setting score (44%, 40%, 53%, 70%; P trend <0.0001) and the relationship score (41%, 47%, 53%, 66%; P trend <0.0001). The setting score was associated with a higher prevalence of infection among children aged 5-14 years, whereas the relationship score was associated with infection in children aged 0-4 years.Conclusion: In urban Africa, contacts of TB with higher settings and relationship scores were more likely infected with M. tuberculosis.","PeriodicalId":519984,"journal":{"name":"IJTLD open","volume":"1 12","pages":"556-563"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11636496/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To support this effort, CDC-funded TB Centers of Excellence (COEs) provide web-based expert consultation, with documentation stored in a medical consultation database (MCD). MCD analysis can reveal inquiry trends among panel physicians worldwide.Methods: TB-related queries in the COE MCD from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022, were analyzed using a descriptive coding scheme developed through inductive analysis, allowing multiple themes per entry.Results: A total of 215 queries from 126 patients in 28 countries were analyzed. Major themes included evaluating diagnostic criteria, tailoring treatment, and managing comorbidities or adverse reactions. Diagnostic questions (n = 104, 48.4%) included mycobacterial culture, smear, and radiology interpretation. Treatment tailoring inquiries involved optimizing the initial regimen (n = 89, 41.4%) or modifying existing regimens (n = 26, 12.1%). Additionally, 50 consultations (23.2%) mentioned comorbidities, while 47 (21.9%) described adverse reactions.Conclusion: The MCD analysis identified topics where TB expertise was provided in overseas medical evaluation. These topics highlight opportunities for targeted panel physician education to improve the health of individual applicants and advance U.S. TB elimination efforts.","PeriodicalId":519984,"journal":{"name":"IJTLD open","volume":"1 11","pages":"490-494"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11558790/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142635421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The efficacy and safety of the three groups were compared, and the TB group was used as the control group to analyse the risk factors of PTLD.Results: The results indicated the three groups in intraoperative blood loss, post-operative drainage volume, post-operative complications, and post-operative hospital stay also varied significantly among the three groups (all P < 0.01). Additionally, factors such as pre-operative anti-TB therapy duration (OR = 1.02, P = 0.007), age (OR = 1.03, P = 0.030), and comorbid diabetes mellitus (OR = 3.00, P = 0.046) were identified as significant contributors to PTLD. While pre-operative haemoptysis demonstrates a statistically significant correlation with both precursor PTLDs, this association likely reflects the clinical expression of the underlying disease process.Conclusion: The study confirms that surgery for PTLD is safe and efficacious. Patients with advanced age, an extended duration of pre-operative anti-TB therapy, comorbid diabetes mellitus and pre-operative haemoptysis should maintain vigilance regarding the potential development of PTLD.","PeriodicalId":519984,"journal":{"name":"IJTLD open","volume":"1 11","pages":"516-521"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11558783/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142635431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to understand the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children with presumptive PTB.Methods: Children aged 0-13 years presenting with presumptive PTB were enrolled. This study includes children who started TB treatment and children in whom TB was excluded (symptomatic controls). Quantitative data were collected using the Toddler and Infant quality of life Instrument (TANDI) (<3 years) and European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-Youth (EQ-5D-Y) (>3 years) measures. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews using thematic analysis.Results: Quantitative data from caregivers of 201 children (TANDI: n = 170; EQ-5D-Y: n = 31) showed 77 (38.3%) were diagnosed with TB, while 124 (61.7%) were symptomatic controls. Qualitative data from 15 caregivers of 21 children included 10 (67%) children with TB and 5 (33%) symptomatic controls. The median TANDI Visual Analogue Score (VAS) for overall health was 90% (IQR 80-100); the EQ-5D-Y VAS median was 95% (IQR 80-100). Caregivers described decreased energy, difficulty eating, and increased sleep using qualitative interviews, which were not reflected in the quantitative data.
