Opis:
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem and the main cause of death from the infectious diseases worldwide. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), a causative agent of tuberculosis, is the oldest known human pathogen. The only available TB vaccine, BCG, was first administered in 1921 and since then remains the only protecting tool against TB. Yet, its efficacy is limited and there is an urgent need to design and produce a novel vaccine that will protect against this deadly disease in the era of emerging problems with antibiotic resistance. In this review a current, global TB situation is outlined and the characteristics of BCG are presented. Finally, the strategies leading to generation of BCG variants providing improved protecting efficacy are shortly described.
Gruźlica pozostaje ważnym problemem zdrowia publicznego i jest główną przyczyną zgonów z powodu chorób zakaźnych na całym świecie. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), bakteria wywołująca gruźlicę, jest najstarszym znanym ludzkim patogenem. Jedyną dostępną szczepionkę przeciwgruźliczą, BCG, po raz pierwszy zastosowano już w 1921 r. i od tego czasu pozostaje ona jedynym narzędziem zapobiegającym gruźlicy. Jej skuteczność jest jednak ograniczona i istnieje pilna potrzeba zaprojektowania i wyprodukowania nowej szczepionki, która chroni przed tą śmiercionośną chorobą, szczególnie w dobie pojawiających się problemów z antybiotykoopornością Mtb. W niniejszej pracy przeglądowej opisano aktualną, globalną sytuację epidemiologiczną dotyczącą gruźlicy i przedstawiono charakterystykę BCG. Opisano także strategie prowadzące do wytworzenia wariantów BCG zapewniających lepszą ochronę przeciwgruźliczą.

Opis:
In the article the authors presented the epidemiological data referring to tuberculosis in some countries and in Poland. Tuberculosis continues to be a priority challenge for public health. The present chemotherapy for tuberculosis is very efficacious but has the disadvantages of being lengthy and complex. The serious problems remain drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, especially multi-drug MDR-TB and extensively-drug resistant XRD-TB as well as the prevalence of HIV co-infection among tuberculosis cases. In October, 2011 the European Union Standards for Tuberculosis Care (ESTC) were finalized. This document is consistent with WHO definitions and recommendations. ESTC consists of four sections – diagnosis, treatment, HIV and comorbidities and public health, which correspond to the International Standards for Tuberculosis Care (ISTC) from 2009. In 2013, the Polish recommendations for tuberculosis were published. The authors of this paper comment on all recommendations referring to tuberculosis. Clinical symptoms of tuberculosis and some problems connected with latent tuberculosis are presented. All sputum specimens and other samples should be submitted for microscopic, culture and drug susceptibility tests. WHO recommends rapid molecular assay, which should be performed on the day of microbiological diagnosis of tuberculosis. All patients, including those with HIV infection, who have not been previously treated and without any risk factors for drug resistance, should receive isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for two months and isoniazid and rifampicin for four months. Some standards are devoted to children tuberculosis. Infection evoked by Mycobacterium tuberculosis should be elicited using tuberculin skin test and/or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA test). Children under 5 years of age and patients with HIV infection should be treated for latent tuberculosis infection with isoniazid when they do not have active tuberculosis.
Autorzy przedstawiają dane epidemiologiczne odnoszące się do gruźlicy w niektórych krajach, w tym w Polsce. Gruźlica ciągle pozostaje priorytetowym wyzwaniem dla zdrowia publicznego. Obecnie stosowana chemioterapia jest skuteczna, ale długotrwała i kompleksowa. Poważny problem stanowią szczepy Mycobacterium tuberculosis oporne na leki przeciwprątkowe, szczególnie szczepy oporne na wiele leków (MDR-TB) i te o rozszerzonej oporności (XDR-TB), oraz zakażenia HIV wśród chorych na gruźlicę. W październiku 2011 roku zostały sfinalizowane standardy dotyczące gruźlicy dla krajów Unii Europejskiej (European Union Standards for Tuberculosis Care, ESTC). Dokument ten pozostaje w zgodzie z definicjami i rekomendacjami WHO. ESTC składają się z czterech sekcji: diagnozowanie, leczenie, HIV i choroby współistniejące, zdrowie publiczne, które korespondują z Międzynarodowymi Standardami Opieki nad Chorymi na Gruźlicę (ISTC) z 2009 roku. W 2013 roku zostały opublikowane polskie rekomendacje. Autorzy komentują wszystkie odnoszące się do gruźlicy rekomendacje. Przedstawiono objawy kliniczne gruźlicy i wybrane problemy gruźlicy utajonej (latent tuberculosis). Próbki wydzieliny oskrzelowej powinny być poddane badaniu mikroskopowemu, hodowli i testom lekowraźliwości. WHO rekomenduje szybki test molekularny, który należy wykonać w dniu bakteriologicznej diagnozy gruźlicy. Wszyscy chorzy (w tym osoby zakażone HIV), którzy nie byli wcześniej leczeni i u których nie występują czynniki ryzyka oporności na leki, powinni otrzymywać przez 2 miesiące izoniazyd, ryfampicynę, pirazynamid i etambutol, a przez 4 miesiące izoniazyd i ryfampicynę. Niektóre standardy odnoszą się do gruźlicy dziecięcej. Infekcja wywołana przez Mycobacterium tuberculosis powinna zostać wykryta za pomocą testu tuberkulinowego lub testu uwalniania interferonu gamma (IGRA). Dzieci poniżej 5. roku życia i osoby zakażone HIV, u których stwierdzono gruźlicę utajoną, należy leczyć izoniazydem, jeśli nie stwierdza się u nich aktywnej gruźlicy.

Opis:
Introduction. Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is an infectious disease that occurs in many species of both domestic and freeranging animals, as well as animals kept in zoos. According to the Polish regulations, cattle tuberculosis are slaughtered and microbiological examinations are performed, the rest of animal species can be treated and laboratory diagnostics are not obligatory. Case report. The presented case concerns two male giraffes which were purchased by the zoo and united with a third male. After a year, the oldest male died. Post mortem examinations confirmed generalized tuberculosis. After a further six months, the second male was euthanized after suffering great pain. The material for the study of drug resistance was a swab from the nose, obtained ante mortem from the third male. Attempted treatments did not produce the expected results. Genotyping allowed the exclusion of a common source of transmission. Conclusions. The final effect of the anti-tuberculosis therapy in the male giraffe raises the question whether the research team should have undertaken the treatment of the animal with active tuberculosis.

Opis:
Introduction. Tuberculosis is one of the oldest infections known to mankind. Of all infectious diseases, tuberculosis causes the most fatalities of any infection. The incidence of tuberculosis on the rise due to the increased prevalence of HIV infection. The incidence of drug resistance strains of mycobacterium is also on the rise. When the mycobacterium is resistant to both INH and rifampicin it is called multi drug resistant tuberculosis. There is a primary and an acquired type of drug resistance. Multidrug resistant tuberculosis is a not only a problem for the patient but also for society at large. The treatment of multidrug resistant tuberculosis requires an entirely different approach. Aim. In this review, we are going to describe the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, investigations and treatment of multi drug resistant tuberculosis. Material and methods. Analysis of the current literature. Results. Genetic factors, previous treatment, and other factors predisposes the onset of drug resistance. By early detection and prevention of spread of drug resistant strains we can prevent the spread of resistant strains. Conclusion. Drug resistance in tuberculosis is a very complex and dangerous problem. We have to prevent the development and spread of MDRTB. Good quality drugs should be used and made available to all sections of the population. Enhancing the National tuberculosis programs is the best way to attain an effective way to control this menace.

Opis:
The emergence of resistance to first-line drugs used to treat tuberculosis (TB) has become a significant public health concern and an obstacle in implementation of effective TB control activities globally. In India, Revised National TB Control Program (RNTCP) introduced the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB (PMDT) services to address the needs of MDR-TB patients. To execute the plan with perfection, RNTCP has devised MDR suspect criteria – A, B, and C so that gradually PMDT services can be extended to the whole country. These criteria were framed to run in tandem with the strengthening of the laboratory services so that the existing certified laboratories can carry out the culture and DST services without being overburdened. Altogether, RNTCP is committed for the strengthening and capacity building of its resources to offer culture and DST services right at the time of diagnosis.

Introduction. Cervical lymph nodes are lymph nodes found in the neck. Hijab is a head cover worn by some Muslim women in the presence of any adult male outside of their immediate family, which usually covers the head, neck and chest. It is strictly forbidden to Muslim woman to unveil any single hair of her head, so they use many pins around the head to fix their Hijab. Often, while using pins they are self-pricked. Aim. The main aim of our work is to reveal a new cause of lymphadenopathy, which is not known till now. Material and methods. Retrospective study during the past five years among seventy-five female outpatients, visited our Oral and Maxillofacial clinic in dental department. Our data was collected according to medical history of patients; all female patients with cervical lymphadenopathy were using (A hijab). Results. Data collected of 75 female patients. Lymphadenopathy causes were various. Most of these causes resulted from nonspecific lymphadenitis (67 patients), 4 tuberculosis, 2 lymphoma, 2 cat scratch disease. Aetiology of 67 nonspecific lymphadenitis was 40 patients of dental cause, 10 of sore throat, 7 of acne vulgaris, 3 of mild facial injuries, and 7 of (Hijab pin pricks). Conclusion. Hijab pin prick cervical lymphadenitis in Islamic communities is not uncommon and, unexplained cervical lymphadenitis should be considered as potential cause

Opis:
We report a case of rare solitary pancreatic tuberculoma. 70 years old woman admitted to hospital in order to conduct diagnostics of a tumor located in the head of the pancreas. All symptoms pointed at pancreatic cancer, but histopathological examinations were inconclusive. Additionally, there were no clinical signs or symptoms of tuberculosis in the lungs. X-ray of the chest showed no abnormalities. The patient denied tuberculosis in the medical interview. There were no bacilli in the sputum. During exploratory laparotomy, the samples of tissue have been taken for pathomorphological examination. The microscopic image caused suspicion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis etiology, which was confirmed by Ziehl-Neelsen staining. In recent years, tuberculosis has become more and more common in Europe, which is why the described case can be a guide for doctors to help to avoid diagnostic errors and speed up the treatment process.

Opis:
Gruźlica jest chorobą zakaźną wywoływaną przez prątki kwasooporne z grupy Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Choroba rozprzestrzenia się, gdy chorzy na gruźlicę płucną wydalają bakterie podczas kaszlu, kichania, śmiania się czy mówienia. Więzienia, które są często nazywane rezerwuarami chorych na gruźlicę, stwarzają duże zagrożenie dla zatrudnionych w nich osób. Dłuższy czas pracy w więzieniu i ośrodkach penitencjarnych sprzyja zakażeniu latentnemu wśród personelu więziennego. Dotychczas opublikowano niewiele prac dotyczących zagadnienia latentnego zakażenia prątkami gruźlicy wśród pracowników zakładów karnych.Materiał i metodyPrzebadano łącznie 84 pracowników zakładów karnych zlokalizowanych w województwie lubelskim. Zastosowano test QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT), który w 2005 r. został zatwierdzony do użytku przez amerykańską Agencję ds. Żywności i Leków jako pomoc w diagnozowaniu zakażenia M. tuberculosis. Materiał do badań stanowiły próbki krwi pobrane metodą testu QFT-GIT.WynikiLatentne zakażenie gruźlicą stwierdzono u 16,6% funkcjonariuszy. Największy odsetek wyników dodatnich zaobserwowano wśród badanych funkcjonariuszek z zakładu karnego, w wieku 36–57 lat, stanu cywilnego wolnego. Nie wykazano istotnych statystycznie różnic między stanowiskiem pracy funkcjonariuszy służby więziennej a czynnikami ryzyka zakażenia gruźlicą latentną. Okazało się, że na ryzyko zakażenia gruźlicą wpływają staż pracy i kontakt z osadzonymi.Wnioski Wyniki badań częściowo potwierdzają obserwacje innych autorów dotyczące oddziaływania czynników ryzyka latentnego zakażenia gruźlicą pracowników zakładów karnych. W badanych zakładach karnych staż i kontakt miały wpływ na zakażenie. Med. Pr. 2021;72(4):415–422
Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by acid-fast mycobacteria from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex group. The disease spreads when people with pulmonary tuberculosis excrete bacteria when they cough, sneeze, laugh or speak. Prisons are often called reservoirs of patients with tuberculosis, posing a great threat to their staff. Longer working hours in prison and penitentiary facilities aid latent contamination among the prison staff. So far, there have been few works discussing latent tuberculosis infection issues among the prisoners and prison staff.Material and MethodsA total of 84 employees of penitentiary facilities located in the Lublin Voivodship were examined using the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) test which was approved for use in 2005 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as an aid in the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The material for the research included blood samples collected using the QFT-GIT.ResultsPositive test results of latent tuberculosis infections were found in 16.6% of officers. The highest percentage with positive results of tuberculosis infections was found among the surveyed single women aged 36–57, working in penitentiary facilities. There have been no statistically significant differences between the position of officers and the risk factors increasing the chance of the latent tuberculosis infection. Work experience and contact with inmates were found to have an impact on tuberculosis infection.ConclusionsThe obtained results partially confirm other authors’ observations concerning the influence of the risk factors of latent tuberculosis infections in prisons. Work experience and contact with inmates have an impact on tuberculosis infections among the prison staff in the Lublin Voivodeship. Med Pr. 2021;72(4):415–22

Introduction and objective. Bovine tuberculosis (bTB, bovine TB) is caused by mycobacteria which are grouped within the MTBC. TB in animals is a highly infectious and progressive disease which can be transmitted to humans. Since 2009, Poland has gained official bTB-free status. Despite the official fact of bTB-free status, a dozen bTB outbreaks are still noted each year. Since 2000 in Poland, every year 1/5 of the national herd is subject to intradermal skin TB testing to control the bTB outbreaks in the cattle population. Application, with 5-year intervals between each government-funded skin test, undoubtedly resulted in financial savings. However it also seems to have caused several adverse and worrying events, e.g. an increase in the number of reactors detected and removed from a single tested herd. The objective of this study was the examination of 898 cattle imputed with bTB infection in Poland between 2008–2012. Materials and method. The study concerned a potential epidemic outbreak with suspected bTB transmission. 20 cows came from 3 herds in the same county located in the same province in southern Poland. Results. 134 MTBC strains were identified. In MIRU-VNTR, all isolates showed the same genetic pattern 322532243421232. Based on molecular investigation, the characteristics of M. bovis strains isolated from cattle from 3 different herds confirmed the common source of this zoonotic disease. Conclusions. Although not bacteriologically proven, everything points to the fact that humans were the vector of bovine tuberculosis transmission between herds. This finding confirms transmission between 3 cattle herds in the Małopolskie Province in southern Poland (Podhale). The outbreak of tuberculosis in animals finally compromised public health.

Opis:
Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), remains a leading public health problem in most parts of the world. Despite the discovery of the bacilli over 100 years ago, there are still many unanswered questions about the host resistance to TB. Although one third of the world's population is infected with virulent M.tb, no more than 5-10% develop active disease within their lifetime. A lot of studies suggest that host genetic factors determine the outcome of M.tb-host interactions, however, specific genes and polymorphisms that govern the development of TB are not completely understood. Strong evidence exists for genes encoding pattern recognition receptors (TLR, CD14), C-type lectins, cytokines/chemokines and their receptors (IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-12, IL-10, MCP-1, MMP-1), major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, vitamin D receptor (VDR), and proton-coupled divalent metal ion transporters (SLC11A1). Polymorphisms in these genes have a diverse influence on the susceptibility to or protection against TB among particular families, ethnicities and races. In this paper, we review recent discoveries in genetic studies and correlate these findings with their influence on TB susceptibility.

Introduction. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease of humans and animals caused by the organism of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). It is one of the most widespread infectious diseases occurring in zoos. Taking into account the number of visitors to these sites, tuberculosis remains a major public health problem. Material and methods. The study material consisted of lymph nodes, and internal organs collected post mortem from five zoo animals suspected of tuberculosis: antelope, two tapirs, alpaca and bison. The animals came from the zoos in Gdańsk, Wrocław and Chorzów. The microbiological analysis of 5 MTBC strains was performed to determine the molecular relationships among them. Results. Five strains were isolated in the microbiological examination, 3 of which were identified as Mycobacterium bovis and 2 − as Mycobacterium caprae. 3 spoligotypes, i.e. SB1912, SB0856, SB2416, were obtained by spoligotyping. To confirm the transmission of tuberculosis in the studied animal population, the MIRU-VNTR method was applied. The unique patterns were assigned to 3 strains and the other 2 of the same pattern were assigned to one cluster, which would indicate the transmission of tuberculosis among animals. Conclusions. The obtained results exclude the transmission of tuberculosis between zoos.
Wprowadzenie. Gruźlica jest zakaźną chorobą ludzi i zwierząt, którą powodują prątki wchodzące w skład kompleksu Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTBC). Jest jedną z najbardziej rozpowszechnionych chorób zakaźnych występujących w zoo. Biorąc pod uwagę liczbę odwiedzających te miejsca, gruźlica stanowi niebezpieczeństwo dla zdrowia publicznego. Materiał i metody. Materiał do badań stanowiły węzły chłonne i narządy wewnętrzne pobrane post mortem od pięciu zwierząt z zoo podejrzanych o gruźlicę: antylopy, dwóch tapirów anta, alpaki i żubra. Zwierzęta pochodziły z zoo w Gdańsku, Wrocławiu i Chorzowie. W pracy poddano analizie mikrobiologicznej 5 szczepów MTBC i określono pokrewieństwo molekularne pomiędzy nimi. Wyniki. W wyniku badania mikrobiologicznego wyizolowano 5 szczepów, 3 zidentyfikowano jako M. bovis a 2 jako M. caprae. Metodą spoligotyping uzyskano 3 spoligotypy (SB1912, SB0856, SB2416). Do potwierdzenia zjawiska transmisji gruźlicy w badanej populacji zwierząt, zastosowano metodę MIRU-VNTR. Wzory unikalne przyporządkowano 3 szczepom, a pozostałe 2 szczepy o takich samych wzorach zostały przydzielone do wspólnego klasteru świadczącego o zaistniałej transmisji prątków gruźlicy pomiędzy zwierzętami. Wnioski. Uzyskane wyniki pozwoliły wykluczyć transmisję gruźlicy między ogrodami zoologicznymi.

Aim of the study: The aim was to evaluate complaints and radiological features, drug side effects, changes in radiological findings after treatment, and to evaluate the factors affecting this change in patients with pulmonary TB. Material and methods: One hundred patients with pulmonary TB were evaluated, and the following data recorded: age, gender, contact with TB patient, complaints, physical examination, tuberculin skin test, acid resistant bacillus, polymerase chain reaction and culture results, posteroanterior/lateral chest radiographs and thorax computed tomography findings at presentation and after treatment, treatment duration, and side effects. Treatment adherence and follow-up data were evaluated, and radiological findings before and after treatment were compared. In predicting radiological improvement, the effects of age, sex, duration of complaints, living in in rural/urban areas, treatment duration, treatment adherence, follow-up, and presence of cavitation were examined. Results: Mean age was 6.0 ± 4.2 years. 66 of the patients had contact history with TB patients. The most common complaint was cough, whilst infiltration and/or mediastinal lymphadenopathy were the most common findings in radiological examination at presentation. 84 patients were scheduled a treatment program for 6 months. Improvement in radiological findings were significantly better in patients who adhered to medication and follow-up protocols. Age, sex, complaint duration, living in rural/urban areas, treatment duration and presence of cavitation were not significantly associated with radiological improvement. Conclusions: Pulmonary TB should be considered in patients presenting with cough, even if their physical examination and chest radiographs are normal. Adherence to anti-tuberculosis treatment and follow-up were the most important factors in radiological improvement.

Opis:
Tuberculosis(TB) is one of the most common infections affecting the population in the developing countries. With the rising human immunodeficiency(HIV) infection its incidence is on a rise even in the developed countries. Pulmonary TB is the commonest form of infection, However multiple extrapulmonary sites have also been reported. Spleen is thought to be a rare organ involved in this infection. Various presentations of the splenic TB have been reported in literature.The definitive diagnosis of this is essentially formulated on the post splenectomy specimen. A consensus statement based on the available case reports is lacking. The authors are providing an insight into this form of extrapulmonary TB after reviewing the available literature.

Opis:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in Nigeria, being one of the ten leading causes of hospital admissions and a leading cause of death in adults, especially among the economically productive age group. This paper critically examined the importance of health education towards the eradication and prevention of tuberculosis in Nigeria. It was reviewed and discussed under the following subheadings; Global burden of tuberculosis in Nigeria, concept, definition and etiology of tuberculosis Signs and symptoms of tuberculosis, diagnosis of tuberculosis, causative agent, modes of infection and incubation period, risk factors of pulmonary tuberculosis Dots and stop TB programmes in Nigeria Treatment and prevention of tuberculosis TB treatment strategies Dealing with treatment problems in Nigeria Stigmatization against Tuberculosis Patients Health education as a tool for achieving free tuberculosis country. Emphasis for Tb control has been placed on the development of improved vaccines, diagnostic and treatment courses but less on health education and awareness. Although the need for theses tools is indisputable, the obstacle facing the spread of TB go beyond technological. The findings of this study may stimulate health system policy makers, Government and non- governmental organizations, donor agencies amd other stakeholders in planning and designing health education intervention programmes on the control and eradication of tuberculosis. It therefore recommended that Government should implement health education as part of the DOTs, this will thus empower the tuberculosis patients on ways to live healthy, lifestyle, in doing this, they will recover fastly and prevent them from spreading the disease.
