Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

627
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.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis V

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, 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...

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:

Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV

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...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genomics
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) remains a significant global health challenge.
  • The specific gene networks governing the human host response to PTB are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key genes and signaling pathways involved in the host response to PTB.
  • To explore potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for PTB.

Main Methods:

  • Integrated gene expression datasets (GSE34608, GSE83456) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs).
  • Utilized Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis.
  • Constructed a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network to identify significant gene modules and hub genes.
  • Validated hub gene expression in independent datasets (GSE19439, GSE31348).

Main Results:

  • Identified 180 shared DEGs between two PTB cohorts.
  • DEGs were significantly enriched in immune response pathways, including defense against bacteria and cytokine production.
  • A core network of 14 hub genes, related to cytokine signaling, was identified.
  • These hub genes demonstrated significant response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and correlated with anti-PTB treatment patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Uncovered a network of causal genes coordinating the host response during PTB infection.
  • The identified 14 hub genes represent a promising gene panel for PTB diagnosis.
  • These hub genes are potential molecular targets for novel anti-PTB drug development.
