Filter by:The study assesses patients with cured pulmonary tuberculosis by compulsory notification data of Uberlândia (Minas Gerais state - Brazil) from 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. These patients will be invited by telephonic contact. After eligibility and exclusion criteria evaluation, those included will be assessed in order to know structural and functional repercussions of pulmonary tuberculosis sequelae.
TB PRACTECAL is a multi-centre, open label, multi-arm, randomised, controlled, phase II-III trial; evaluating short treatment regimens containing bedaquiline and pretomanid in combination with existing and re-purposed anti-TB drugs for the treatment of biologically confirmed pulmonary multi drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB).
This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs bedaquiline (BDQ) and delamanid (DLM), alone and in combination, among participants (with or without HIV co-infection) taking multidrug treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) or rifampin-monoresistant TB (RR-TB).
In this trial, the investigators are assessing whether giving an increased dose of rifampicin to patients receiving the standard treatment for tuberculosis is safe and, when given for 4 months only, will also result in greater and faster killing of the tubercle bacillus in the lungs and result in relapse rates similar to those found in the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended standard 6 month regimen.
Brazil ranks 17th among the 22 countries responsible for 80% of tuberculosis (TB) cases in the world. In 2010, the number of new cases of tuberculosis in Brazil was 71,930 and in 4972 RS. In 2010, Brazil had a disease incidence of 37.6 / 100,000 in 2011 fell to 36.0 / 100,000. The Rio Grande do Sul(RS)S showed an incidence rate of 46.1 / 100,000 in 2011. The mortality rate was 2.4 / 100,000 population per year in Brazil and RS. In Porto Alegre, the incidence rate of all clinical forms of tuberculosis has remained, in the last six years, around 100/100.000 inhabitants per year, while the coefficient of pulmonary tuberculosis remained on average 50/100.000 inhabitants to year. Thus, Porto Alegre holds the 2nd place in Brazil among the capitals with the highest incidence of TB, classifying the city as high risk 5th. Porto Alegre also has a co-infection TB / HIV from 35.3% one of the highest in the country. The best strategy to prevent new cases of tuberculosis is to invest in early diagnosis and effective treatment of existing cases of the disease. As the treatment of the disease requires daily use of medications for an extended period of time (at least 6 months), adherence becomes the main determinant of the rate of healing of disease. There are several factors that contribute to poor adherence and treatment dropout: alcoholism, illicit drug use, infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus), low education, unemployment, poor housing and prolonged the treatment. The irregular treatment and neglect are the major obstacles to the control and elimination of this disease. Study in Porto Alegre pointed alcoholism, TB / HIV, the fact that the patient does not reside with family and low education as predictors of dropout. The dropout rate in the general population of patients with active tuberculosis was 10.7% (8.0% - 17.0%). Abandonment occurred more often within the first three meses8. In Porto Alegre, 32.5% of new TB cases are diagnosed in hospitals. Twenty percent of these patients do not bind, after discharge, the Tuberculosis Control Program (TCP), ie, the patient egress from the hospital does not reach the basic health unit (BHU) reference for further monitoring and treatment, which is considered a serious flaw in the process control of the disease.
Tuberculosis (TB) patients often have a lower body mass index (BMI) and experience wasting. Wasting reduces lean body mass and may cause physical function impairment. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of fermented soybeans (tempeh) as a food supplement on body weight and physical function changes among active pulmonary tuberculosis patients with standard therapy.
Comparison of 68Ga-AlfatideII and 18F-FDG in differential diagnosis effectiveness towards the solitary pulmonary nodules of lung cancer or tuberculosis.
Assess the Efficacy of HUEXC030 as Add-on Excipient to Eradicate Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs Induced Hepatic Injury ( ATDH ) in Subjects with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of ID93 + GLA-SE vaccine when administered to adult pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) patients, following successful completion of TB treatment with confirmed bacteriologic cure, in preparation for a future Phase 2b prevention of TB recurrence trial in the same population.
The diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and especially the detection of drug resistance of tuberculosis mycobacteria can be time consuming and costly. New and rapid diagnostic tests are needed to improve early case detection and correct initiation of treatment. In the planned cross-sectional diagnostic evaluation study the investigators are aiming for the assessment of several new TB diagnostics (e.g. new AID strip assays and TrDNA assay in urine) in TB suspects who are presenting themselves to the pulmonary ambulance (TB dispensary for sector 4) at the Marius Nasta Institute (MNI). The study will be conducted in a co-operation between the MNI and the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF).
