Summary
Tuberculosis research output has grown, with BRICS nations significantly increasing their contributions and funding. Enhanced collaboration among BRICS countries could further boost global tuberculosis research productivity.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics
- Public Health
- Infectious Disease Research
Background:
- Tuberculosis (TB) research is crucial for the End TB Strategy.
- Tracking research output is essential for monitoring progress.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of TB research over the past decade (2007-2016).
- To identify trends in publication output, research areas, funding, and collaborations.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from the Web of Science database (2007-2016) using the R bibliometrix package.
- Analysis of a 5% random subset to extract funding sources and research areas.
Main Results:
- Annual publication growth rate of 7.3%, with BRICS countries showing the highest growth (13.1%).
- USA led in publications (18.4%), followed by India and China.
- Fundamental research dominated (33.8%), with US and EU as top funders, and China and India emerging.
- Collaborations were more common between high-income countries and LMICs, with fewer LMIC-LMIC collaborations.
Conclusions:
- Tuberculosis research output has steadily increased over the last decade.
- BRICS countries are emerging as significant producers and funders of TB research.
- Increased collaboration among BRICS nations could enhance future TB research productivity.

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
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.

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...

For solutions containing mixtures of different cations, the identity of each cation can be determined by qualitative analysis. This technique involves a series of selective precipitations with different chemical reagents, each reaction producing a characteristic precipitate for a specific group of cations. Metal ions within a group are further separated by varying the pH, heating the mixture to redissolve a precipitate, or adding other reagents to form complex ions.
For instance, group IV...
