Analysis of 18FDG PET/CT Imaging as a Tool for Studying Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and Treatment in Non-human Primates
Published on: September 5, 2017
Abstract:
New one hundred and five cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were examined to evaluate the mental status in different treatment settings: a day hospital, a polyclinic, and a hospital. The Aizenok questionnaire. Shihan's test, and a clinical and symptomatological questionnaire and interviews with patients were used for psychological studies. In the day hospital and polyclinic, therapy improved the mental status of the patients at discharge. They showed their adequate attitude towards their disease, felt well and had great visas for their future social and familial life. They all were eager to resume their former work, attempted to preserve their social and working status and 16 (72.7%) patients treated at the day hospital and 18 (75%) outpatients continued working.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
