“…EPTB is TB that can manifest outside the lungs and affect most organs in the body, including intestinal TB, bone TB, cervical lymphadenitis TB and others [ 13 , 15 , 19 , 22 , 23 ]. The results of this study indicate that the neck is the most significant site of EPTB.…”

“…The clinical manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) are cough, fever, weight loss and night sweats. However, patients with extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) develop atypical symptoms depending on the location of the infection, which may delay diagnosis and treatment and lengthening hospital stays [1] , [2] , [7] , [8] .…”

The formation of a scar after Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin ( BCG) vaccination influences the effectiveness of protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. The innate immunity plays a critical role both in the pathophysiology of tuberculosis (TB) and BCG vaccination protection mechanism. Parts of innate immunity: macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, have microbial recognition surface receptors called Toll-like receptors (TLR) 2 and 4. The objective of this study is to compare the serum levels of TLR2 and TLR4 in BCG-vaccinated pediatric patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB. This cross-sectional study included children aged less than 18 years old with contracted TB disease and had received BCG vaccination. The subjects were recruited by convenience sampling from both outpatient and inpatient care at Bhakti Medicare and Jakarta Islamic Hospital, from November 2018 to December 2019. Serum TLR2 and TLR4 levels measured using ELISA of the two groups of subjects: children with pulmonary TB (PTB) and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB), were then compared. The presence of BCG scars was included in the analysis. Independent T-test, ANOVA test, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality tests on the SPSS program were used to statistically analyze the results. Serum TLR2 and TLR4 levels were higher in EPTB group, but the difference was not significant (TLR2 p = 0.758 and TLR4 p = 0.646, respectively). Subjects with BCG scars in both groups have significantly higher serum TLR2 and TLR4 levels than those without BCG scars in the EPTB group (EPTB p = 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively); (PTB p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). BCG vaccination and MTB infection stimulate better innate immune response in EPTB than in PTB and serum TLR2 and TLR4 levels in those with BCG scars were higher when compared to those without BCG scars.

Diagnosis of tuberculosis: a consensus statement from the Brazilian Thoracic Association

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Early, accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis is one of the major pillars of the control of the disease. The purpose of this consensus statement is to provide health professionals with the most current, useful evidence for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in Brazil. To that end, the Tuberculosis Committee of the Brazilian Thoracic Association brought together 14 members of the Association with recognized expertise in tuberculosis in Brazil to compose the statement. A nonsystematic review of the following topics was carried out: clinical diagnosis, bacteriological diagnosis, radiological diagnosis, histopathological diagnosis, diagnosis of tuberculosis in children, and diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection.
