Opis:
The authors point out that tuberculosis is the oldest infectious killer of humans and today it is such a serious threat to health that the World Health Organization (WHO) equates it to a time bomb. The most common source of infection by mycobacteria tuberculosis to a man is a sick person. Epidemiologically greatest danger is sick person with untreated decay pulmonary tuberculosis whose sputum may spread billions of tuberculosis bacilli every day. The overall situation in the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in Slovakia is generally favorable, although in the eastern parts of Slovakia incidence is growing rapidly. Slovakia has compared with all Europe small to moderate incidence of this disease and its incidence has downward trend. East Slovakia so far has hot won combat this disease yet. It is therefore necessary to continue effective intervention and prevention to combat the spread of this disease.

Opis:
Background: Genitourinary tuberculosis is one of the most common forms of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Owing to a myriad of clinical presentations and discrepancies in the diagnostic modalities, patients usually present late, which results in a high number of them requiring surgical intervention. The present study aims to retrospectively analyze the role of surgery in genitourinary tuberculosis. Patients and method: All patients diagnosed with genitourinary tuberculosis at our centre between October 2017 and September 2019 were included in the study. The mode of presentation, duration of symptoms, investigations performed, treatment received, and follow-up were studied. Results: Out of 25 patients diagnosed with genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB), there were 15 (60%) males and 10 (40%) females. The mean age of presentation was 40.84 years. Nineteen (76%) patients underwent surgical intervention, and many patients required more than one surgical procedure. A reconstructive procedure was carried out in seven patients. At a median follow-up of 12 months, all patients did well, showing no relapse. Conclusion: Surgery, along with antitubercular treatment, is the key to the management of GUTB presenting with structural damage. However, surgery can be ablative or reconstructive, depending on various factors discussed in the present study. This preserves or restores the optimal function of the genitourinary system affected by the mycobacterium bacilli.

Opis:
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) involves 10-15% of all tuberculosis (TB) cases. Recent statistical report showed that EPTB accounts for more than 50% of all cases of TB in HIV-positive patients. In spite of existing anti-tubercular drugs based treatment of EPTB, the ideal regimen and duration of treatment have not yet been established. In general, EPTB is a kind of TB infecting diversified tissues and organs of body other than lungs. In fact, people suffering from TB and co-infected with HIV are prone to develop EPTB much more frequently. The present chapter discusses on the general overviews of EPTB infecting distinct body sites other than lungs. Currently, the treatment of EPTB completely relies on existing anti-tubercular drugs. In addition, significant efforts, particularly close clinical monitoring would be an imperative step towards its therapeutic strategy.

International standards for Tuberculosis care
India
Opis:
Tuberculosis (TB) is a social disease with medical aspects accounting for 8.7 million new cases and 1.4 million deaths in the year 2011 worldwide. International standards for TB care (ISTC) were formulated to develop uniform guidelines for ensuring the delivery of a widely accepted level of care by all health care practitioners in managing TB patients, or those suspected to have tuberculosis. India alone has contributed 25% of the globally reported new cases of TB in 2011 and is also the leading nation in accounting for drug resistant TB (DR-TB). Thus to develop uniform standards of TB care and to engage private sector which caters to more than 70% of TB patients, the “central TB division” has developed standards of TB care in India (STCI). These local standards have been designed after taking into account the guidelines of the World Health Organization and ISTC disease control STCI has proposed 26 standards (viz. diagnosis – 1 to 6; treatment – 7 to 11; public health – 12 to 21; social inclusion – 22 to 26) for effective prevention and control of TB. To conclude, the Indian standards of TB care have been proposed to emphasize on individual patient care and public health principles of disease control for ultimately reducing not only the suffering but also the economic losses from tuberculosis.

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.

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.

It is known that, drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis show toxic effect to organism especially to liver beside its therapeutic effect. Because of ineffectiveness of drugs used in the treatment regimen of tuberculosis against multidrug resistance (MDR) and extensively drug-resistance (XDR) tuberculosis requires the development of new treatment methods and new novel drugs. Considering the usage of Artemisia absinthium in traditional medicine in treatment of wounds which suggests its antibacterial activity it seems that, also it may have significant antimycobacterial activity. The objective of present study was to evaluate antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract of A. absinthium against M. tuberculosis. In this study, the effect of ethanolic extract of A. absinthium was tested against tuberculosis and pharmaco-toxicological properties evaluated on laboratory animals. The 20%, 40%, 70% and 96% ethanolic extracts of A. absinthium prepared then its bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities were evaluated by validated methods. Data were analyzed by GraphPad Prism 7.0 at the level P<0.05. Results showed that ethanolic extracts of A. absinthium show no toxicological properties with having high LD50. All concentrations of extract show high bacteriostatic activity on M. tuberculosis. 96% ethanolic extract has highest bactericidal effect among other concentrations. By conducting further studies, as a results of our study, antimycobacterial drug can be prepared from A. absinthium.

Opis:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that can affect any organ system of the body. Abdominal TB can be gastrointestinal, lymph nodal, visceral or peritoneal. The gallbladder (GB) is rarely involved in abdominal TB as a primary organ. Extensive research literature on gallbladder TB is limited to case reports. There has been no review on this rare abdominal pathology. GB tuberculosis is a difficult diagnosis preoperatively. It is a rare differential among the more common gallbladder pathologies such as cholelithiasis, or a gallbladder malignancy. Typical histopathology of the resected specimen helps to establish this rare diagnosis. Subjecting every specimen to histopathological examination followed by medical treatment offers the chance of cure. Through this review, the authors attempt to provide an insight into this disease entity.

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. 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.
