Filter by:The objective of the present study is to confirm in a multicentric study the utility of our viability test in large cohort of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients under treatment and to determine if the test could help physicians to discontinue isolation measures in hospital setting.
The development of efficacious, safe, and shorter treatment regimens could significantly improve TB management and treatment success rates. This prospective, 3-year, single arm study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a short-course, 4-month regimen including isoniazid(H), pyrazinamide(P), rifapentine (P), and moxifloxacin(M) (2HZPM/2HPM) for the treatment of drug-susceptible, pulmonary tuberculosis, and compared with a historical control group receiving the standard six-month regimen.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of rifampicin given at a dose three times as the standard one, in persons with tuberculosis that belong to groups that have not been widely included in previous trials.
The respiratory isolation could have a harmful impact on the well-being of patients, especially in a psychological point of view such as anxiety and depression disorders or through the relationship with medical team and/or relatives but also in terms of informations. The evaluation of the impact of respiratory isolation in patients hospitalized for tuberculosis or COVID-19 could allow to identify the different kinds of problems encountered by these patients (physical, psychological, sociological, informations, ...) in order to adapt the environment for efficient care and to improve patient's well-being. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the psychological impact of the respiratory isolation on the quality of life in patients hospitalized for tuberculosis or COVID-19.
Tubercular meningitis occurs in around 10% of those with extrapulmonary tuberculosis and is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Inspite of effective Anti-tubercular drugs, still around 30% of patients develop complications due to arachnoiditis such as spinal tubercular radiculomyelitis, optico-chiasmatic arachnoiditis, development of new tuberculomas after starting therapy etc. which are probably immune mediated inflammatory responses due to paradoxical reaction to ATT. The management of arachnoiditis is far from satisfactory. High dose methylprednisolone, intrathecal hyaluronic acid, thalidomide have been tried in small case series and case reports. However, the results have not been satisfactory. There are two published reports of cyclophosphamide usage in TBM related vasculitis and stroke The investigators tried cyclophosphamide in four patients after consent, and found remarkable improvement in all of them. (Under peer review) In order to test this hypothesis, a randomized controlled trial is needed.
Tuberculosis (TB) is still the leading cause of death in HIV-infected patients. Early diagnosis of TB substantially improves the survival of HIV-infected patients. Urine based detection of lipoarabinomannan (LAM) provides promising methods for quick diagnosis of TB in HIV-infected patients. However, the sensitivity and specificity of TB-LAM is still not well established, especially in area where non-tuberculosis mycobacterium is also prevalence. Here we aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of TB-LAM in diagnosis of active TB in hospitalized HIV-infected patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the 1-month regimen of three times weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid in improving fertility outcome in recurrent implantation failure (RIF) patients with latent genital tuberculosis (LGTB), compared to no treatment and non-LGTB patients.
TB is the most common cause of death in patients with HIV worldwide. Rifampicin [RIF] is the cornerstone of anti-TB therapy. Current guideline recommend efavirenz (EFV) 600mg per day as the first of choice for HIV/TB co-infection. Co-administration of EFV with RIF decrease the plasma concentration of EFV. Because of better safety profiles, EFV 400mg has replaced the EFV 600mg as the first-line antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV. However, the efficacy of EFV 400mg when co-administrated with RIF in HIV/TB co-infection is unclear. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EFV 400mg versus EFV 600mg in HIV/TB co-infected patients receiving RIF based anti-TB therapy.
This trial aims to determine whether the addition of rosuvastatin to standard TB therapy in pulmonary tuberculosis results in accelerated of sputum culture conversion. The trial will also investigate potential new biomarkers of sterilising activity and immune-modulatory activity.
This experiment is designed to analyze the metabolites in body fluids from patients with active tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis infection also with health volunteer, then combine the metabolic product features with clinical characteristics, to develop a kind of metabolites targets to evaluate the progress in tuberculosis, thus provide a basis for further utilization of humoral metabolites in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
