Background The understanding of early events following TB exposure is limited by traditional tests that rely on detection of an immune response to infection, which is delayed, or on imaging tests with low sensitivity for early disease. We investigate

SETTING: Although diabetes (DM) and low body mass index (BMI) are established risk factors for active tuberculosis (TB), the joint effect of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and BMI is unclear.DESIGN: A prospective cohort of 63,257 adults aged 45–74 years wer

Experimental studies showed that tea polyphenols may inhibit growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, no prospective epidemiologic study has investigated tea drinking and the risk of active tuberculosis. We investigated this association in the

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) confers a higher risk for tuberculosis (TB). Yet, TB screening and chemoprophylaxis for latent TB infection (LTBI) in DM remains controversial. We conducted a cross-sectional study to elucidate LTBI prevalence and l

Background Although asthma is associated with impaired lung immunity, it is unclear whether asthma affects the risk of active tuberculosis (TB). Because the upper and lower airways are immunologically related, sinonasal disease may also modify suscep

The tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) release assays (IGRAs) are used as adjunctive tests for the evaluation of suspected cases of active tuberculosis (TB). However, a positive test does not differentiate latent from active TB.
