“…Hence areas of high prevalence of TB should be identified. California leads the TB incidence rate in United States, followed by Texas, New York, and Florida [12] . Over a one-year duration in New York, there was a 10% increase in the number of TB cases from 2016 to 2017 [13] .…”

“…Collaboration with organisations serving PEH and people who inject drugs, such as needle exchange organisations, is important for preventing infections in this population and for providing care to limit the severity of wounds that have already developed. For example, existing needle exchange services not [56]. Among patients with TB in 2017, 5.6% of TB cases in California reported homelessness, compared to 4.6% nationally [55].…”

Communicable disease among people experiencing homelessness in California

2020

California has a large population of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) that is characterised by a high proportion of people who are unsheltered and chronically homeless. PEH are at increased risk of communicable diseases due to multiple, intersecting factors, including increased exposures, comorbid conditions including substance use disorder and mental illness and lack of access to hygiene and healthcare facilities. Data available for several communicable diseases show that PEH in California experiences an increased burden of communicable diseases compared to people not experiencing homelessness. Public health agencies face unique challenges in serving this population. Efforts to reduce homelessness, increase access to health care for PEH, enhance data availability and strengthen partnerships among agencies serving PEH can help reduce the disparity in communicable disease burden faced by PEH.

“…The incidence of tuberculosis is decreasing worldwide. The US TB incidence in 2018 (2.8 per 100,000 persons) represented a 1.3% decrease from 2017; the rate among non-U.S.-born persons was >14 times that in US-born persons [1][2]. Patients who usually present with pulmonary tuberculosis with constitutional symptoms are comparatively easier to diagnose than patients with a rare presentation of extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) without any pulmonary or other constitutional symptoms.…”

Isolated tuberculous epididymo-orchitis is a rare manifestation of the vast extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) disease spectrum, especially in developed nations, making it prone to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis and inadvertent orchiectomy. Several observational studies and case reports have been reported with the successful use of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosing tuberculosis orchitis, thus avoiding inadvertent orchiectomy. Because tuberculous epididymo-orchitis can mimic testicular neoplasm, the use of FNAC is not prevalent in developed countries for fear of the seeding of tumor cells and there is a lack of consensus on the use of FNAC for diagnostic purposes in such patients. We report a case of a 27-year-old man with an atypical presentation of genitourinary tuberculosis (TB) and its management. The case report also reviews the literature to discuss the available evidence and tries to answer the long-standing question on the role of FNAC in the diagnosis of tuberculous epididymo-orchitis.The currently available literature has demonstrated the safety and efficacy of FNAC in diagnosing TB epididymo-orchitis and, based on our review, the benefits of differentiating TB epididymo-orchitis from testicular malignancy using FNAC exceeds its minimal risk and must be considered to minimize clinical diagnosis error and unnecessary orchiectomy in low-risk patients.
