We report a fatal case of disseminated Emmonsia sp. infection in a 55-year-old man who received an orthotopic liver transplant. The patient had pneumonia and fungemia, and multisystem organ failure developed. As human habitats and the number of immun

Interferon-gamma release assays have limited sensitivity for detecting latent tuberculosis infection. In this study, we determine if the addition of immunomodulators to the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) increased test sensitivity without comp

To the Editor: Tuberculosis (TB) remains the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease in adults. Extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) accounts for about 25% of all cases of active TB. Pleural TB is the second most common manifestation of EPTB. Ex
